Why doesn't my mouse work after installing tablet drivers in Windows 95?
Click on the "Start" button.  Select the "Settings" option and then the "Control Panel" option. Double-click on the "System" icon.  Click on the "Device Manager" tab. Click on the "+" next to the mouse icon and then highlight the mouse installed on your system. Click on the "Remove" button and then click "Yes" to confirm the removal of the mouse from your system.  Restart your computer. Windows 95 should detect your mouse when the system restarts.  If not, open the Control Panel again and double-click on the "Add New Hardware" icon.  Let Windows 95 search for new hardware. When the search is finished, restart your computer.

Why does my mouse pointer jump on the screen when using my digitizer?
Your tablet is probably sitting too close to your monitor and receiving interference. Try moving the tablet away from your monitor. If this does not work, try changing the operating frequency of your cursor by pressing and holding down the 1 and 2 buttons simultaneously until the power light blinks on your tablet (CalComp cursors only). If using a pen/stylus, hold down the tip and both side buttons simultaneously for about 4 seconds to toggle between the two operating frequencies.

The dgccwt.dll file was not copied into your ACADWIN directory during  the install of the TabletWorks driver. Do a search on your hard drive for dgccwt.dll and copy the file into the appropriate directory.

On which COM Port and Interrupt Request (IRQ) can I use my digitizer?
You can use your tablet in any of the following configurations:

How do I set up my CalComp tablet to work with AutoCAD Release 14?
Before using these instructions, the digitizer should be working on the desktop in Windows 95/98/NT.

1. In AutoCAD, pick the Tools pull-down menu, then pick Preferences. (Typing 'config' at the command line will also bring up the Preferences dialog box.)

2. Pick the Pointer tab.  Scroll down the list of drivers and select Wintab Compatible Digitizer ADI - by Autodesk, Inc.  Now pick the Set Current button.

3. In the same dialog box, under Accept input from:, select Digitizer and mouse. Now pick the OK button.

AutoCAD Release 14 for Windows is now configured for the digitizer. You can now use the 'tablet' command to set up (CFG) the AutoCAD template or calibrate the board.

How do I set up my CalComp tablet to work with AutoCAD 2000?
Before using these instructions, the digitizer should be working on the Windows desktop, as a pointer, using the current tablet driver:

1.  In AutoCAD 2000, pick the Tools pull-down menu, then pick Options.

2.  Pick the System tab.  In the area called "Current Pointing Device", select Wintab Compatible Digitizer ADI 4.2 - by Autodesk.

3.  In the same dialog box under Accept input from:, select Digitizer and mouse. Now pick the Apply button and then the OK button.

How do I get AutoCAD 14 or 2000 to access both screens with my Dual Monitors?
Before using these instructions, make sure you are using TabletWorks Wintab™ Driver Version 5.2 (or higher) or 6.1 (or higher), which support Dual Monitors.

1. Open the TabletWorks Control Panel.

2. Enter the Tablet or Mapping screen (depending on which version of the Wintab™ driver you are using).

3. Select Enable Mapping (make sure the "WYPIWYG" pointing mode is selected). Now select Apply.

Setting the TabletWorks Control panel up this way will allow you to use the DrawingBoard III in absolute mode on both screens in AutoCAD.

Why does my digitizer work only after I remove my comports from Windows 98 and restart my computer?
When the comports are removed from Windows and the computer is restarted, Windows will detect the comports and reinstall the comport controllers.  At this point Windows has not started the Power Management feature for the comports, thus the tablet will work normally. Once the computer has been restarted again, the tablet will quit working. 

This is an issue that has just recently developed with a number of new high speed motherboards. We are taking measures to fix this issue with our next TabletWorks Driver version. For assistance with this issue, please contact our Technical Support Department at: (480) 443-2214.

How do I remove the TabletWorks driver?
Follow these steps:

1. Open the Control Panels folder.
2. Locate the TabletWorks Control Panel and drag it to the trash.
3. Open the Preferences folder.
4. Locate the TabletWorks Prefs file and drag it to the trash. (This file will not exist if no custom settings have been made.)
5. Empty the Trash Can.
6. Restart your computer.

Will my DrawingBoard II MSER (Macintosh Serial Tablet) work on a Power Macintosh?
No. The DrawingBoard II MSER will not work on any of the Power Macintosh's. The DrawingBoard II MSER will only work on the Quadra line and earlier.

Note: If you need a serial driver that works on the Quadra and earlier machines, go to CalComp Software. The name of the driver is seria13.hqx. (This is the only support offered for the Macintosh serial tablets.)

Why isn't my tablet is not working correctly with my Kensington Turbo Mouse?
The Kensington Turbo Mouse and your tablet may be trying to use the same Handler ID (4). To fix this problem:

1. Open the Kensington Mouse Control Panel.
2. Hold down the "Option" key on your keyboard and select "Compatibility Options" from the Options Menu.
3. Select the "Add" option.
4. In the "Name" field, type "CALCOMP Tablet", Handler ID: 04, and check the "Ignore" checkbox.
5. Close the Kensington Control Panel and save the changes when prompted.
6. Restart your computer.

For more information, contact Kensington;  the phone number is located in the About screen of the Kensington Control Panel.

Why are there two different tablet modes in the TabletWorks Control Panel?
The two tablet modes give you the ability to setup two different custom tablet zones for your digitizer. You can have one mapped to the full area of your tablet, and one for a smaller custom defined tracking area.

How do I connect my DrawingSlate II with ADB connector to my USB-based Macintosh?
You will need to purchase the iMate USB to ADB adapter from Griffin Technologies. This is the only known adapter to work with your DrawingSlate II tablet. You will also need the iMate system extension of version 1.6 or better. As this extension is not included with the hardware when you purchase it, you must download it from Griffin Technology. If you attempt to use the tablet without the iMate extension, the tablet will function only as a mouse, and the TabletWorks Control Panel will not load.
