I have had this happen with my styalist II tablet a number of times. the way i was able to fix it was as follows. this is with win XP so you need to aply OS stuff as needed for 98. first shut off the puter. second unplug the tablit let sit for 60 full seconds. fire up the puter with out tablet conected. this will clear out the info in the wacom files. turn off the puter. conect the tablet and plug it in. boot computer. if the tablet is still working all should be ok. and the tablet back up and working. the total fix for this is to have your tablets power sapply turned off when the puter isnt running so put it on a protection strip or something if it isnt yet. leaveing it powered on all the time the tablet seems to get confused or something after a while and it just stops working till its unpluged let cool down then restarted by pluging it in. I have a master power control box under my moniter i use. and turn it off with the puter and moniters when not in use. and if im browsing i leave the tablet off and use my intelapoint for brosing or what ever and turn the tablet on only for drawing. hope this helps. Vel oh PS I did have a power saply go bad once, went to radio shack power saply in hand and got one from them. :) problem solved tablet worked fine after that and is when i started leaving it turned of when not in use as the power saply runs 24 hts a day even if the tablet is not in use if pluged in. byee and good luck Vel
