can somebody help?

I suppose you both have read this page:
http://www.wacom.com/faqs/knowledge_search.cfm?id=335
Repairing permissions is one of the steps.

thanx, it works. you are god, nerowolfe...

You are welcome. I'm just doing my thing here.
I am really trying to prove that most of the problems are not the direct fault of the OS, but maybe even the other way around.
No matter, glad to have been of assistance.

I know this is a month old. I also just got caught out with this. Today for some unknown reason the Wacom Intuos3 driver started crashing upon login. Checked its config, which it also said it was undetected.

So glad I came across this as it was starting to drive me nuts, even when it suggested to reinstall the driver, which was not working.

All sorted now though. 🙂

I have a Graphire that works fine. However, I did notice today that Wacom has posted a Leopard Driver

Maybe that will help

Ah, nice. I was on version 6.0.5-2, which was dated Sep. 10, 2007.

Hi,

Has anyone experienced any problems with a Wacom Graphire device and the latest OS X 10.5.2? After updating from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 my Wacom is acting like a standard mouse (relative movement), not like a pen tablet. When I go to the tablet's system preferences it says no USB tablet can be found. I tried uninstalling the driver, repairing permissions, rebooting and reinstalling, but no luck yet.

Same thing here. This ***** and has totally disrupted my workflow. I have tried 3 different Wacom drivers and none see the Tablet after I installed the keyboard update. Starting to feel like I'm on a Windows machine. I imagine Wacom now has to update their driver so it will be months before I can use the Tablet.

No, only a 1/7 of a ton PI 🙂

I have the Intuos (GD) and I've followed all of these suggestions and still nothing has worked.
I found this: It DID NOT fix my problem but it may fix yours. I still have no tablet.

I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX.5.2
I have a Bamboo Fun, medium sized, CTE-650
The most current driver (as of today) is Wacom Driver 5.0.5-3

I previously had a Graphire tablet and upgraded to the Bamboo. I
installed off the CD and everything was running great. I used System
Update last week and installed everything on the list (why not?).
Suddenly the Wacom driver refused to recognize my tablet.

"A USB Tablet was not found when the system started"

I did everything else I could find described as a solution for this
problem:
-Reboot
-Uninstall Driver, Reinstall Driver
-Repair Disk Permissions
-Uninstall Driver, Repair Disk Permissions, Reinstall Driver, Reboot

None of these solutions worked for me. What I found was that there
was an old version of some Wacom preferences in the directory,
~Users/*username/Library/Preferences/

These files were entitled,
com.wacom.pentablet.p.TMP
com.wacom.pentablet.prefs
com.wacom.tabletpreferences
com.wacom.wacomtablet.prefs

The uninstaller was neglecting to delete these files, and the
installer was not finding, erasing or overwriting them. I deleted
them all, reinstalled the driver and rebooted. Problem fixed.

Same here. Tried all the above. No joy
