Hi,

Four days into my CS4 experience. Not awful, but not good either.

Running on Vista Business 32bit, Phenom 9550 Quad Core, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 7600 GT.

I just tried my WACOM tablet and the brushes were very slow, missing the start of some strokes and most importantly no pressure sensitivity. I did
a little searching and someone suggested switching off OpenGL and this has fixed my problem.

Does anyone else have a similar experience ?
Also, is my 7600 GT card not powerful enough ? When I moved to CS2 from 7, I had to upgrade my graphics card – which was running just fine with 7.

Thanks in advance,

Shahzad

Shahzad,

Try this: switch OpenGL back on, but, under the advanced button, disable everything.

This helped me in an early state. (my Wacom Intuos 3 Pressure sensitivity never failed, but I did have brush lag and smoothing issues before I did the above).

Hi,

Thanks for the tip.

As it happens, I also updated both my Wacom and Nvidia drivers and when I switched OpenGL back on, things were fine. The pressure sensitivity was back and the lag was gone.

I’ll also try playing around with the settings as you suggest.
