225175 2004-03-25 20:31:00 I have a genius 1212HR III digitizer. some of the time it initializes fine on bootup but some times it takes up to 6 reboots to get it to initialize.
I am running windows XP. When it fails to initialize properly if I hold the left click puck button and drag it moves the pointer. But that is all it does.
the problem has to be in the boot up procedure any ideas any one.
the manufacturer is no help, guess when I will buy another of their products.

It gets its power from a branch off the key port board and comunicates thru the serial port

225178 2004-03-27 00:45:00 Ok, I assume the device has it's own set of drivers? or does it emulate a mouse?

If it has it's own drivers try this.

1. Remove the drivers you have installed.
2. Unplug the tablet from the serial port.
3. Reboot XP.
4. Install supplied drivers.
5. Plug the tablet back in again.

I have seen some tablets get "screwd up" by windows probing for a mouse / modem.
