Hello Folks,
A friend sent me an email telling me that there were new Wacom Drivers available. Surprisingly, my Wacom Desktop Center hadn’t told me about it this morning, but when I opened the Center again, there was the message new drivers were available. I decided to use the Wacom Desktop Center to install the drivers. I did that the last time without issue. That wasn’t the case this time. The installation appeared to go as planned, but when I rebooted, I came back to black screens. I was able to get everything back without much hassle, but it was such a surprise to have something like this happen.
Next I loaded my preferences and then took a look at my Wacom Tablet Preferences window. Yikes, it look similar, but on closer inspection, I found many changes. I’m not even sure how it works. I did go to the Wacom site, but I couldn’t find any information about the changes. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t there…I just couldn’t find it.
I suspect that I am going to roll back to the previous driver until I can figure out what is going on. I’m not worried; Wacom products are fine. I just need to learn a bit about the new look and feel of the Wacom Tablet Preferences. I’ll let you know when I do.
In the meantime, look at the video below. It will tell you in more detail about what I found when updating to the latest driver.
That’s all; have fun…

Thanks, Ski!
You are very welcome.
Hi
Thank you for the information. When I opened the Wacom Center it told me the update was not appropriate for my Wacom. Maybe that helps.

That’s good news. It should tell us when there is an update and if it is one that works with our product. Thanks for letting me know. Skip
Thank you!!!
You bet…
Enjoy,

Thanks for the heads-up Skip! I’ve had drivers unrelated to Wacom that’s done similar things. The good news is that if it does happen, most of the time it’s easy to fix.

Hi Rich…
Yep…the second day I had played a bit and learned a bit more. I met with my buddy, Tim Shelbourne and if the truth be known, I think he had figured all out before we met. He was very helpful.
