Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>graphics (more info?)

To whom it may concern,

I recently ran into an infuriating bug with a Wacom driver. I
couldn't find any posts anywhere that solved my problem, but after a
little while, I hashed it out. To save anyone else the same hassle
and frustration, I am posting a description of my situation and
solution. I hope this helps.

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.

If you are having this problem, try deleting those files.

Cheers!

Bravo! I'm not personally in need for this solution, but thank you all
the same for posting it here for others who may find themselves in need
of it.

Thanks! Worked for me and saved me a lot of trouble. Had the same
problem with an Intuos 3 on a Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.2
