Crazy Intuos 2 driver problem

Daz

So I grabbed the latest Wacom drivers last night. Did what one is meant to normally do: uninstalled the old drivers first, rebooted, installed the new drivers. The tablet seems to work OK, but double clicking the tablet icon in the control panel (with a view to trying out thomasp's trick in this thread: http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=137432&an=0&page=0#Post137432)
gives me this error:

Tablet Version Mismatch

Please reinstall the tablet software

ERROR: THE TABLET DRIVER WAS NOT FOUND.

I've tried all sorts of stuff including uinstalling, deleting all wacom registry keys, re-installing. Same shit. I'm bloody annoyed.

I definitely have an Intuos 2 and am definitely grabbing the correct drivers (WacomTablet_496-7a). Any ideas? Thanks.

yeah, backtrack and go with an older driver.

I had the same prob with my tablet (which is a graphire, but the release note said it should work).

It just won't work. I tried for like.. a week.
I'd send them a note about it though, and hope for a patch.

I tried some wacom beta drivers and had that problem. Then when I tried to install old drivers it was still broke so I deleted all the wacom files from,

C:\WINDOWS\system32

Wintab32.dll
Tablet.exe
WacomTablet.cpl

Then re-installed old drivers and it worked.

I had the same problems with these new wacom drivers (intuos 2) I was able to reinstall the old drivers though...

Daz try this regcleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ Ive had problems with the win registry before and this program sorted it out.

Daz

OK well, a cleanup and a rollback fixed it so thanks a lot guys. But I guess this means I don't get to experience data recognition mode

You UPDATE drivers?
If it ain't broke, don't fix!

Daz: The older drivers should have it under the "Tablet Mode" tab in the options, just switch it to "Recognition Data".
I think it's only the newer ones where they made it so you double-clicked the tablet icon in the device list.

Daz

I only updated 'cos I was under the impression that DR mode was specific to these new drivers. Doh, thanks Paul. Will check that out when I get home.
