Well I'm not sure if my answer is of any use. I believe I have the Graphire tablet. I bought the cheapest that I could and at the time of purchase I was limited to what I could get because I had no USB port and had to go with the mouse connection. It works fine with XP however if the computer goes into "standby" the tablet ceases to work. But yes if I choose to paint hair on my characters I do use the pen verses the mouse. Macey
