HELP! Not painting/erasing where I click

Post by melissapugs »

I was working on a project, switching back and forth between by mouse and wacom tablet. Of course PSP crashed, as it will every other day or so. I waiting a while and opened the program...and whoa, is there a prob. None of the tools will act where I click on the canvas - using either my mouse or tablet. I erase on one spot, and it erases a spot about an inch away. Same with all tools. I have disconnected tablet, reset preferences, restarted computer, checked for updates...nothing is working. Any thoughts, help would be much appreciated. Corel PSP X3

Have you tried them in any other program? If so are they acting the same way? If so then it could be the driver has corrupted and you would need to reinstall them.

Thanks for your reply, I was just turning around to mark this as solved. When the program re-started, 'snap to guides' was checked off...so weird, since I don't remember ever toggling that on. Anyway, figured it out. Thanks anyway. :)

If this happens again you may need to go into the Control Panel of Windows itself and turn off the Win7 Tablet drivers. They interfere with Wacom's drivers. Sometimes turning that off works, sometimes you still need to run the Wacom driver installer file. This is problematic with me on my laptop since sometimes I have a Graphire4 tablet connected and sometimes a Bamboo Pen/Touch. The switching of the two really screws with things.
