Pen Tablet Driver problems with Leopard

Since installing Leopard my Wacom Graphire 4 tablet isn't functoning correctly. I've downloaded the current driver - 5.05.2 which is supposed to cope with Leopard but I'm not sure how to uninstall the current driver. Where is it?

A Pen tablet icon is present in System Preferences but I'm now getting a message that ' a USB tablet was not found when the System started up'. In fact during start up I get a message that the tablet driver quit unexpectedly and have to relaunch it via the button in the dialogue box. The tablet 'sort of' works. The activity LED operates and the cursor moves but the screen to tablet movement ratios are all wrong.

So how do I go about uninstalling the existing driver and reinstalling the latest driver. There's a 'Tablet Driver CF Plugin.bundle in the System Extensions folder but I'm not sure if that was part of the Leopard installation. I can't actually find anything that is specifically named the Pen Tablet 5.05.2 driver.

Power Mac G5 2 gig dual processor, Mac OS X (10.5)

Thanks for the link to the USB problems thread. One post gave me the clues on uninstalling and reinstalling the Pen Tablet driver. There's a folder in 'Applications' called 'Pen Tablet' that contained the uninstaller. Once I got rid of the old driver and installed the current version all seems well. I think I had two versions of the driver that were conflicting.
