I didn't have the tablet connected (I was making sure that it did work on my MacBook Pro, and it did work after reinstalling the purportedly incompatible preference pane), but I got the familiar (and welcoming) message that, duh, I didn't have any supported device connected, instead of the dreaded driver error message. I first removed my preferences and, I don't really know why (whether I had the Wacom preference pane open or just thought of giving it a try), my Wacom driver came to life! I was about to try reinstalling the driver, so I thought of cleaning my system of all its remnants by using the Wacom Utility instead of scouring my hard drive for Wacom support files. The Vista Flicks and Press-and-hold-to-right-click features are disabled in most graphics applications (all that use the Wintab API).Actually, I have some god news (sort of), for a change…

On systems with Windows 7 or Vista, the installation of this driver will activate the pen input functions available within Vista and Office 2007. Notes: Windows 2000 is not supported with this driver.

An issue with the cursor stucking after over-install was resolved.

A problem with pen settings not being preserved during was resolved.

Calibration on certain display tablets was improved.

There are some very tricky instructions on the web to make it work on a Mac, but it was just too cumbersome.įor anyone interested in which are the latest drivers for Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10), here’s where to get them.ĭetails from WACOM: DRIVER 5.25-5A RC FOR WINDOWS 7, VISTA, AND XP So I did that, and reluctantly sold the Graphire 3.

As I can’t change from macOS to Windows for my day-to-day workflow (in too deep), I ended up doing what Apple wants you to do: buy a newer device. This is something that Windows still does a lot better than macOS: support for an oldish device can end just like that (even if it works just fine for the current tech age). In any case, the latest iteration of macOS (Sierra or 10.12) brought incompatibility with this device and others I have on my desk. The mouse though… It worked fine, but I’ve never used it – the A6 size is ok for working with the pen but smallish for a mouse. It worked just fine and its size made it just right for carrying around if needed. I have had this one for I don’t know how long, and it has served my needs just right.Īfter I started using macOS a few years ago, I also used the Wacom with it, and it was mostly a no-issues kind of device. The Wacom Graphire 3 was an entry level graphical tablet, slightly better than the Bamboo.
