I am very disappointed. Even with my new Intuos 3 i had the same freeze of phtoshop like i had with the Inutos 1.
Since the freeze appears only while painting, AND happened on two different computers with two different tablets and two different OS’ses, i can only think of one final reason: another program interfers with the tablet-driver.
I checked all the programs on both machines. I have no clue, WHAT might cause this.
Are there ANY programs known to cause trouble with the wacom driver?
-The freeze is NOT reproducable.
-The freeze ONLY affects Photoshop (i had this also in freehand two or three times) and ONLY while painting with the wacom.
-The strokes suddenly diasppear, next click brings up the hourglass, application is no longer responding.
-Windows, all other applications and the tablet are still fully operational. -Memory usage seems to have no effect. This happened with small images, as well with big ones, sometimes after hours sometimes after seconds.
I am really helpless with this one…
I tried everything that wacom or adobe adviced me to to. I really think it has to be a program or background task interferring, but how can i find out?
I realized, that motherbaord monitor was running in the taskbar on both machines.
Can this be the cause? Can someone confirm that hardware monitoring software can cause trouble? I will further investigate this. No clue at all.
It’s difficult to keep all secondary programs closed all the time, because i established a workflow that is now extremely slowed down, but until i find the bugger, i think i have to work like in the old win95 days: with just one application open.
