Solve : Using Wacome One Tablet with Serif DrawPlus X5?

Answer»

Hello, I have recently purchased a Wacom One input tablet. This is working with Windows Ink okay. I want to use it with Serif DrawPlus X5. This works for about 5 minutes then DrawPlus just freezes (not repsonding). DrawPlus X5 is quite an old release and I am wondering if I need to use an older driver. My OS is Windows 10. Any ideas?USING an older driver is worth trying. Also PERHAPS try running DrawPlus 5 in a Windows compatibility mode. If neither of those suggestions WORK, I don't think there would be too much else you can do. As said, DrawPlus 5 is an old program (released in 2000) and it might just down to it being too old to work with a modern tablet and/or operating system.

Old Wacom tablet drivers can be downloaded here..

Scroll down the page and click the 'Older versions' link in the Windows section. Drivers listed there from 2004 onwards.

I appreciate wanting to stay with DrawPlus. It is a good DRAWING program and a pity it has been discontinued. It is still possible to find later versions (Amazon sells version X6 for around £10) and this might work better.

I have DrawPlus X8 working with an old Wacom Graphire drawing tablet (ET-0405-U) and these work OK with Windows 10.Yes, most Wacom compatibility issues can be solved with older drivers, I don't know why, but there's always some time between the IMPLEMENTATION of new drivers and full compatibility with all Windows versions.
