The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you are using a Wacom Tablet with Windows NT 4.0, you may experience any of the following symptoms:

  • The tablet driver (Wacomkey.exe) does not exit properly when Windows NT shuts down.
  • You receive an application error while attempting to open the Wacom tool in Control Panel.
  • The event log fills up with overflow messages.

CAUSE

Older versions of Wacom's tablet drivers can cause these problems, as they are not designed to operate with Windows NT 4.0.

RESOLUTION

Contact Wacom for updated versions of the drivers. The drivers are also available on Wacom's Web site at http://www.wacom.com.
