At this point, simply restarting the tablet service leaves the orphaned user process blocking communicate and the tablet frozen. Unfortunately when the system’s “Wacom_Tablet.exe” (the process behind the TabletServiceWacom service) crashes the user process doesn’t. In addition, the separation of privileges has apparently prompted Wacom to introduce a “Wacom_TabletUser” process that appears to interface that user’s settings with the system-level tablet driver. The new privilege system means that you can’t simply restart a service without some form of privilege escalation, even for admin users. However, it could also be called from a simple shortcut or though one of the media/shortcut keys on most modern keyboards. ![]() ![]() It was tedious enough that I use to have that in a cmd script file, but I could call from the hot-key application I used. In fact it was easy enough, and the OS insecure enough, that a simple CMD script could do it as well. In Windows XP, the fix is as simple as restarting the Tablet service though the Services control panel. If you’re not comfortable with the detail provided, I strongly suggest finding someone who is to implement it for you. However, these instructions should be enough for someone reasonably versed in using computers to implement. Like the last one of these, I’m not about to go into every possible level of detail in walking though the resolutions I’m about to describe. ![]() This isn’t supposed to be a programming/computer/info-tech site, yet I keep posting bizarre programming/computer fixes. ![]()
