Is your Wacom doing that annoying circle thing? Here’s how to fix it
Have you recently had to do a complete reinstall or update of Windows and now your Wacom is doing this stupid thing where at the beginning of a stroke there’s this stupid circle thing that completely messes everything up? And you’ve gone into Pen & Touch to try to find the settings, and they’re completely different now than what they were in all the other tutorials online? And you’ve changed all the settings you can and rebooted a billion times and it’s still doing it and you’re pretty sure you can see through dimensions now you’re so angry? Here’s how to fix it. You’re gonna wanna open the Registry Editor. Press Windows Key and R to open up the Run dialogue. Type regedit and press Enter. It’ll whine about making changes to the computer or whatever, and you’re damn right you want to. Navigate through to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wisp\Touch
find the value named TouchMode_hold and open it up by double-clicking it. Change its value to 0. It looks like this:
Then, you wanna go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wisp\Pen\SysEventParameters - it’s found by expanding the “Pen” folder inside Microsoft Wisp. Click on the SysEventParameters folder to open it up. It looks like this:
Open up the HoldMode parameter. Change its value to 3. Reboot. Weep. I suffered for actual hours trying to figure this out so you don’t have to. Reblog for art buddies.
