My tablet’s glitching and I can’t find any resources to fix it

I’ve got a Wacom CTH-670. The driver is as old as the tablet itself. The issue is definitely not with the pen as it only does this on one area of the board, and I can’t describe it properly. Here’s what it looks like;

The area with the entirely straight lines is the ONLY place it lags out on the board. The rest, I can draw just fine on. When the pen nib reaches that area, the brush falls behind until the nib reaches the other side of it.

The tablet was completely fine beforehand, though it did have an issue with the touch pad and control buttons opening up another desktop on Win10. We’ve tried cleaning out the board, but it didn’t help at all. 

I’ve also updated the driver like 4 or 5 times from different sources (my original copy, the wacom source, and a rip) and nothing’s worked.

PLEASE HELP ME

I have to get a new tablet, the shop said they couldn’t fix it without breaking it, good thing I got all my art off there beforehand, I’ll probably still participate in Yooran Week but it’s just gonna be whole bunch of traditional shit

So, my tablet is out of commission right now. It's possibly something to do with the pen pressure, not absolutely sure.

Well, we'll have to decide what we need to do.

I'll keep you guys up to date.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hello. So, I use a Intuos Wacom drawing tablet, and use the FA software. Usually, when I hold down the button on the side, and drag the pen, I can zoom in and out of my drawing. However, when I started the software again recently, it now erases when I drag the pen. How do I switch it back to the zooming function it originally had?

Check your pen/tablet settings (have you updated your pen driver, or has a Windows update changed the Ink settings?), especially for the side button settings.

Zoom is usually set to mouse wheel, if the side button is set to right-mouse button then eraser is the standard behaviour.

If your tablet software allows it, and if you are using Windows (I don’t know whether Macs have any equivalent), try turning off Windows Ink/TabletPC services. Wacom Intuos tablets have this in the tablet software under Mapping.

(Although with Microsoft incorporating Ink more and more into the OS, I’m not sure that will still work as well as it used to).

Also turn off other tablet services built into Windows or your tablet software, such as Pen Flicks and press-and-hold for right-click. Screenshot instructions here (somebody else’s bad language, for which I apologise, but they document the process very well): http://i.imgur.com/Viuhhok.jpg

Also try File menu, Environment Setting, and change Brush Coordinate from Use Tablet Coordinate to Use Mouse Coordinate.
