I have just discovered a problem with my Wacom Intuos tablet whilst trying out my new copy of Photoimpact 7.

If I choose one of the freehand tools (paintbrush, pencil, whatever) and attempt to draw with it on the canvas, a line shoots out in one direction or another - most disconcerting.

Oddly, this occurs whether I use my home equipment, or a totally different spec machine at work.

I have seen this effect before in Flash, on an earlier machine, and cured it by replacing the video card. But as the machines I am using now have different video cards, and all other drawing/illustration packages work fine with the Intuos tablet, I suspect the problem lies elsewhere.

I have been on to Wacom, who, although quick to reply, haven't really helped much thus far.

Has anyone else experienced this, or got any ideas what could be amiss?
