Wacom Intuos pen and touch small PEN TABLET, and Windows 8

 If you are using the latest WACOM pen tablet, with wireless kit
(and you should be!!) there are problems with Windows 8. The symptoms are that the initial action of the pen is a mess,

To solve this it is necessary to UNTICK the option “Use Windows Ink”. This is found in the CONTROL PANEL => Wacom Tablet Properties, and proceed to the MAPPING tab, and the link to untick is in the bottom left

Details of the Wacom tablet are linked from TSM Resources for the busy teacher  (scroll down a bit)
