Wacom Intuos4 tablet settings keep resetting after reboot

I am not sure if anyone else is seeing this but on my fresh install of 10.6, I installed the latest drivers for my Wacom Intuos4 tablet and every time I reboot, the configurations are reset to defaults.

I've also noticed that when I go into the Wacom preference pane in System Preferences, along with other preference panes (like Growl, for example), I have to restart the System Preference app.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Mac Pro 2.66, Macbook Pro, iPhone 3G, Mac OS X (10.6)

Ok, as frustrating as it is, I am glad that it is a recurring issue for other users.

I hope Wacom releases an update soon!

Something to try is find the file where the settings are stored and make it read only.

Or lock it.

Thanks ... Ken

Just as an FYI - I posted a thread on Wacom's UK support forum (only place I could find to do such a thing). URL: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1627

Did you install ROSETTA when upgrading to SL?

This is a known issue with the current Wacom driver and it will have to be fixed by them in an update. In the meantime, you can make the preferences save by quitting System Preferences after changing any tablet settings and then reopening the Wacom prefpane in System Preferences and closing it again.
