MACINTOSH-SPECIFIC PROBLEMS

At startup, a dialog box
appears telling you that
either the driver failed to
load or the tablet
preferences have not yet
been created.

The tablet portion of the pen display was not detected at startup.
Make sure the USB interface cable is securely connected to the
converter unit and to an active USB port on your computer.
Make sure also that Cintiq’s power light is on and is glowing blue.
If your pen display is plugged into a USB hub, make sure the hub is
connected and active. If this does not correct the problem, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 37.

From the G

O

menu, select the U

TILITIES

folder and launch the S

YSTEM

P

ROFILER

. Select USB from the H

ARDWARE

section of the C

ONTENTS

list. A Wacom USB pen display model should be listed. If a pen
display model is not listed, check the pen display’s USB cable
connection or try plugging the pen display into a different USB port.

If this does not help, contact Wacom for Technical Support.
See “Technical support options” on page 51.

You suspect the pen
display preferences may be
corrupted, or want to make
certain that all settings are
at their factory defaults.
