INSTALLING THE DRIVER
On Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista operating systems, the driver installs when Intuos is connected to
your computer for the first time. The connection is indicated when the Power LED lights.
The driver is also available from the Installation CD, or as a download from the Support area of the Wacom
website.
For the Mac operating system, you will need to install the driver from the CD, or download and install it
from the Wacom website.
Note: Your Intuos will not work without the driver. Make sure to install the driver to use your tablet.
To install the driver:
1. Save your work and close all open applications.
2. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.
3. Install the driver:
• For Windows 8, Windows 7, or Vista, select the driver installation option that appears after the
Intuos and your computer are connected.The driver will be downloaded and installed from the
Wacom website.
You may also access the driver from the CD, or download it from the Wacom website Support area.
• For Mac OS, insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer
menu does not display, double-click the I
NSTALL or STARTUP icon shown on the CD. You may also
download the driver manually from the Wacom website Support area.
4. Follow the prompts to install the driver software.
5. Reactivate your virus protection program.
6. After completing the software installation, make sure you can use your pen on the Intuos to move the
screen cursor.
When you place the pen tip on or close to the active area, the screen cursor should immediately jump
to a corresponding position approximately beneath the pen tip. Lift the pen tip and place it in a different
location. The screen cursor should again jump to the new position.
7. Check the Notes linked to the driver download page for updated information. Review the Important
Product Information document located on the Installation CD for cautions and warnings. If you have
trouble installing the driver, see Troubleshooting
.
Notes:
User-specific preferences are supported. After logging on, each user can customize their personal
settings in the Wacom Tablet control panel. Switching to another user (either by logging on, or fast
user switching methods) will load the settings for that user.
If you lose cursor control, the preferences may be corrupted. See Managing preferences
to delete
the current preference settings and return the Intuos to its factory default condition.
Driver installation automatically activates the pen input functions available in Microsoft Windows 8
and Windows 7 (except for Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic). See Pen and digital ink capabilities
in Windows.
