Larry, while we're all diverging a bit on this thread, please say a bit more about the Intuos tablet. I have a year old Intuos 6 x 8. I dled the updated driver from their site not long ago and it fixed the problems I had in Painter Classic. I dled it again and added it this weekend when I reformatted/installed Win98. Now--I'm not sure what you are saying? What else will I have to do month to month G? Diane B
