Hi Guys!

Gosh....real long time since last post, but I thought I should put this up for those who are suffering the same issue with Wacom tablets and paint tool Sai.

Issue: I recently bought an intuos 5 to replace my old previous graphics tablet. I installed the intuos 5 with seemingly no troubles at all. It worked on photoshop just great, but as soon as I tried it on paint tool sai, it resulted in terribly lagging flat lines, with no pressure whatsoever. I thought that it might need an up-to-date driver so I d/l that from the wacom site and installed it - still with no luck. I removed the file utility preferences and still nothing. I figured i'd give up on using paint tool sai forever until I found this post:

Solution: "Unplug the tablet, uninstall the drivers and restart Windows. Go to device manager and remove any remaining Wacom entries there from the HID and Mice sections. Also remove remaining files wintab*.* from SYSTEM32 and SYSWOW64 as well as any wacom_tablet.dat or pen_tablet.dat files, which may still exist on the machine. Then attach the tablet to a USB port in the back of the machine. Verify that it works as mouse device. Then log in with an admin user account, download and install the latest driver. Open the tablet properties panel, set the doubleclick distance to minimum, then go to pen -> projection and disable the option to 'use Windows Ink'. That should avoid the various Windows effects causing lags." Taken from the Wacom Forum Link Here

And sure enough it worked!!! I think the main reason it wasn't working before was because it remembered my old tablet and didn't recognise the new one installed. Once I found the wacom_tablet.dat or pen_tablet.dat files and deleted them - it worked like a charm !!
