I think I've narrowed the problem down...

I actually made the 40 mile r/t to Staples to get a replacement copy of PSE5 - but it didn't solve the problems I was having. So I started digging even further.

It would appear that any tool that uses either default or pen pressure brushes doesn't work. If I can change the setting (either turning off pen pressure) or changing the brushes then I can get them to work. In fact I can get a few in each catogory to work, but only the odd shapped ones - and not all of them.

Any ideas on why those two brush sets aren't cooperating?

Yes - you think that might be the source of all my grief?

I don't know ... but those sort of things sound like they could be tablet related.

You haven't by any chance left the pen on the tablet have you ??

By geroge I think you've found the answer - it doesn't like my Wacom tablet. If I use my regular mouse everything is fine. If I use the Wacom mouse it starts acting up! Some will work with the Wacom and some won't.


So how do I get it to like my Wacom?

Hi Jane ...

Did you check to see if you had accidentally left the pen on the tablet ... sometimes that makes it do strange things ??

the Wacom Pen wasn't anywhere near the tablet - just the Wacom Mouse. (I keep them seperated - don't want them doing naughty things in the middle of the night )

Jane ...

Oh that is good one ...

I'm out of ideas now, as most people know I do have a tablet but have never really got on with it ... so I'm useless at trouble shooting. However it does sound as though the tablet is causing the problems ... hopefully one of the others will be able to help now

Wendy

Jane maybe go to Wacom's site and see if there is an update for your tablet. I don't have any problems with mine and my daughter is using the tablet with pse just fine on their computer too.

Thanks for your help Wendy! I really appreciate it!!!!

Pauline - thanks for the suggestion, there is a driver update that came out in Sept. I think that was just after I got the Tablet.
