I have an older Wacom Graphire4 tablet that worked fine with Windows 7 but I can't get it to work with 10, in the device manager it appears under the HID Tab as HID complient digitzer also as USB input device ( a normal mouse?) It works as a normal mouse in the BIOS prior to loading windows, both the above entries are listed as working normally with no problems in device manager, but there is no movement at all. If I boot up without the Graphire mouse on the Graphire Pad no power appears, but if the mouse is on the pad an orange power light appears & changes to green on clicking the mouse. I have tried installing various Wacom drivers without success, the HID complient digitzer entry says no driver files are needed or loaded for this device, the USB input devie entry has the same 3 driver files listed as my USB mouse.

I think fresh ideas are needed, anyone have an answer? Problem solved by searching through the Wacom forum found the drivers needed, it seems that an automatic seach just brings up the latest Microsoft drivers as they have the latest date, (alhough they don't work) As an aside I have had to return to Windows 7, too many random problems, the latest the printer wouid not work because the print spooler service could not be started! I have also had Windows defender stopping and switching protection off, File explorer opening very slowly and other random glitches, I have no virus, sfc finds no problems so the only thing left for me to keep my sanity was to go back. Its a dissapointment because 10 works fine on the laptop & I quite like some of the features. I also encountered this problem with my Graphire 4 (CTE-640) when I built a new Win10 PC.

For now it seems that the problems were solved by this Wacom Forum thread: The Wacom employee points to an installation pack 'cons530-3int.exe' (properly from Wacom's own servers, no suspicious third party links) in the download link in the seventh post of the thread. It's a bit older driver for the Bamboo tablets for Win8, but at least for me it seems to work with my Graphire 4 in Win10. The Wacom preferences utility functions and allows me to assign keys/modifiers to the pen and the tablet buttons. Pressure sensitivity also worked in PS.

As you might recall, the later drivers for Win7 also 'forgot' the old Graphire models and the packet was simply talking about Bamboo, but everything worked nonetheless. I guess the technology inside is the same.

As always, make sure to remove any old drivers and reboot before installing the new one. You might have solved the issue already by yourself, but for the sake of posterity I'll give here some simple advice. It seems Wacom closed their forums due to spam, so the link to the forum topic won't work, for now at least.

However, my original post contained the name of the driver package, including the version number. The Wacom main site, which the dead forum link redirects one to, doesn't seem to either host this version (for Windows) or at least doesn't list it. However, if you head over to the Wacom Europe site, wacom.eu, you'll easily find this particular driver package by going to the Driver section and then selecting Graphire4 and Win8 as the options. This driver (cons530-3int.exe) is then what the site will list.

Just be sure you are at the EU site, as Wacom seemingly loves to redirect one to the common US site, wacom.com, which, like I said, won't be serving you this driver version. The url ought to look something like this, at the time when I'm writing this post: http://www.wacom.eu/index4.asp?pid=29&lang=en.

On 1/30/15 wacom wrote me.' Unfortunately your tablet is not compatible with your current Operating System (El Capitan OS X10.11.3) because it is already a legacy model. However, it would still be compatible with Windows 7, Vista or XP and Mac OS X v. 10.6, 10.5, 10.4 & 10.3. You can also try checking out the latest model of your tablet which is Intuos Pro.' I guess.get an older computer or a newer tablet?

I just kept installing & un-installing drivers until I found one that worked. Here it is Good luck Daniel PS. Just found the preference pane doesn't work.

Maybe this trick will work For now I'm happy. I'll try this preference thing only if I have to. I finally solved this. TLDR: I managed to get my Wacom Intuos GD-0912-U (first generation Intuos A4 size) tablet working in High Sierra, with a fully functional Wacom Preference Pane, by using a newer driver and preference pane, and hacking the preference pane file: I replaced the Info.plist in the package of the newer preference pane (6.3.15-3) with the Info.plist from the old preference pane (6.2.0w4) that was working in older macOS. Then switched System Preferences to 32bit and back, opening the prefpane before, in between and after.

This restores a fully working prefpane. Explanation; I have an old first Wacom Intuos first generation (GD-0912-U) tablet, and ran into the same problems as described above, after I upgraded to High Sierra from Mountain Lion. After a lot of reading and trial-and-error, I now have a fully working old Wacom tablet, with a fully working Wacom preference pane in System Preferences. I read all solutions in this and other threads. First, the following steps got me a more or less working tablet, as described in this thread:.

Using a legacy driver, in my case 6.2.0w4, downloadable on the Wacom website:. Export/backup the Wacom preference file from my pre- High Sierra (Mountain Lion in my case) computer/backup with the right settings, with the Wacom Tablet Utility in Applications Wacom-tablet. Then import/restore these setting with the same Wacom Tablet Utility. The above works, you have a working tablet, but without a working Preference pane in System Preferences, as described in this thread. The solution for a working Preference Pane for previous MacOS versions was to open System preferences in 32-bit mode, as described in this thread. Unfortunately this does not work anymore in High Sierra. I managed to get a working Wacom Preference Pane with the following trick/steps:.

Wacom Graphire 2 Driver Windows 8

Download the old driver that works. With my Intuos1 tablet, in my case this was version 6.2.0w4. Install the driver. Look up the preference pane file in the Library Libray/PreferencePanes/wacomtablet.prefpane or it might be here in your User library; /Libray/PreferencePanes/wacomtablet.prefpane. copy this prefpane file to your Desktop. Download a newer driver, that does work in High Sierra.

In my case this was version: 6.3.15-3:. Install this newer driver. Open the old prefpane wacomtablet.prefpane file that you copied to your Desktop with: right-click Show Package Contents. Navigate to /contents/Info.plist.

Copy this file, or keep window open. Navigate to your the prefpane of the newer driver:. Libray/PreferencePanes/wacomtablet.prefpane or /Libray/PreferencePanes/wacomtablet.prefpane. Open it with: right-click Show Package Contents. Navigate to contents/Info.plist. Replace this Info.plist file with the one from the old preference pane file in step 3. Just be sure you keep the newer prefpane file and replace Info.plist with the Info.plist from the old prefpane.

You can check versions of the prefpane file with Cmd-i if you get confused. Restart computer Then:.

Open System preferences. The Wacom preferences pane now shows and opens, but acts weird. Close System preferences. Change System preferences to 32-bit mode (with CMD-i on the System preferences app checkmark at 'open in 32 bit mode'). Open System preferences.

Make some changes in the Wacom preference pane. The pref pane still acts a little weird at this point. Close System preferences. Revert the 32-bit mode opening by deselecting the 32 bit mode option. Open System preferences and the Wacom preference pane: Voila: fully working preference pane, without any weirdness. Steps 6-13 are crucial, without the 32bit switching and back, the prefpane does not work correctly.

In my case with the mentioned to driver versions, I have a fully working prefpane. All options/settings are working and can be saved. Working with my old tablet on High Sierra for a week now, no problems or hickups. Notes;. I imagine this hack may work for other older driver combinations, but I am not sure, just try it out. I read somewhere that next versions of MacOS may not have the 32 bit option anymore, so steps 6-13 may not work anymore after High Sierra. In that case, I imagine that the hacked preference file still may work, but only the future will tell.

I am not sure what causes the hacked prefpane only to work correctly after the switch of System Prefs to 32bit and back is performed. Maybe in a new MacOS version, the copied, hacked prefpane will just work. Just be sure to keep a copy of the prefpane and drivers to be safe.

I got this idea to hack the preference pane here: where this fix is described for a Graphire 3 - CTE-430. But without the 32bit System Prefence switch weirdness. Hope this helps anyone to restore full functionality to our older beloved Wacoms! Oh, this is sooo close, but I cannot get it working even in El Cap. I can get the actual pen/mouse to function, but even after the 64-bit tweak, I have no functionality in the Pref pane. I even re-saved 'good' prefs in a Lion VM, set to 'Screen 1' but the pen wants to cover both my screens & the pen panel is totally blank, no way to adjust. I'm gonna +1 for effort, but I'm still looking for a solution I can get working here.

BTW, 6.3.x cannot see my GD at all, only 6.2.0 can see it at all. I've tried many variants of pref pane plist, but I have to have the 6.2 drivers underneath. – Mar 12 at 19:31.

To get your tablet running in X.11 go back to the latest system you had your tablet installed and functioning. In my case it was Mavericks.

There,. Configure the tablet settings to your taste. Open 'Wacom Tablet Utility' and do a 'Backup.' This will generate a file (Preferences.wacomprefs).

You can change the name, if you wish, for example: photoshop01.wacomprefs (don't change the extension!). Go to EL Capitan, install your tablet with the original driver that came with it, open 'Wacom Tablet Utility' and do a 'Restore' with the preferences file created. In my case (Graphite ET, the first model) it works. If I need to change the functionality of the middle mouse button, I have to go back to Mavericks, change the settings, and repeat the whole process, but at least I have my tablet running.

Hope this helps you, R. Graphire 4 CTE-640 and El Capitan OSX 10.11 here.

I have been trying various solutions online all day but always had one of two errors: either got the 'could not load Wacom Tablet preference pane,' or got a preference pane that said 'a supported tablet was not found on the system.' Tried a ton of different things for about the past 4 hours, but finally found a driver that worked for me (btw, i kept getting a 404 error when trying to access the legacy driver linked above, not sure if wacom actually just took it down, or because it's a US site and I'm trying to access it from Japan). Anyway:. unplug ur tablet, go to your applications folder and find the Bamboo/Wacom/Tablet folder and run the Bamboo/Wacom/Tablet utility to 'Remove' 'Tablet Software.' . reboot. download and install 'Driver 5.2.6-5(RC) for OS X 10.8, 10.7, 10.6 & 10.5' which is named 'PenTablet5.2.6-5.dmg'.

plug in your tablet, open the preferences and enjoy! This should work for Bamboo, Bamboo Comic,Bamboo Craft Pen & Touch, Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch, Bamboo Manga, Bamboo One, Bamboo Pen, Bamboo Pen & Touch, Cintiq 17SX, DTF-510, DTF-720 / PL-720, DTU-710, Graphire Bluetooth, Graphire3, and Graphire4. I hope this works for you so you can celebrate as I just did; and you can be sure that I'm saving the dmg to avoid this frustration in the future. I was having the same issues trying to get my Intuos 2 working (I love this thing have had it for at least 10 years) and when I installed a fresh copy of El Capitan the preferences didn't work. I do have a backup hard drive with my previous OS on there in which the Wacom preferences do still work. If anyone is in desperate needs and has a large Intous 2 (10x12 or whatever the large size was at the time) I might be able to send you a custom Intous 2 preference file that was loaded easily into the Wacom utility in El Capitan.

But if you do have a backup restore drive you can boot that and save the preferences in the Wacom utility (not the Wacom preferences, just search for Wacom utility that is the only option that works on El Capitan as well). There is a way to use the legacy preference pane in El Capitan.

I am using a Wacom Intuos 2 6x8 (Model XD–0608-U) tablet with Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.4. After finding this page on Wacom's web site: I downloaded and installed the legacy driver. When I try to open the preference pane normally, I get the message: 'Could not load Wacom Tablet preference pane.'

In order to access the preference pane, System Preferences needs to be opened in 32-bit mode. Find System Preferences in your Applications folder. Highlight it and press cmd-I (Get Info) to get the Information box.

Tick ‘Open in 32-bit mode’ (and low resolution if you have a retina display). Now you can open the Wacom Tablet preference panel in System Preferences. Set up your tablet. Then cmd-I again on System Preferences and turn off 32 bit mode. Anytime you need to adjust preferences for the tablet, remember to switch System Prefs into 32-bit mode.
