Hi there. I've been using a Wacom Graphire 4 with my Mac Pro G5 for many years, working as an illustrator using Photoshop.
Recently I managed to find a second-hand replacement Wacom Graphire as my original tablet's lead was coming loose, causing it to malfunction. The replacement tablet worked initially but then started to malfunction resulting in my G5 crashing and I was unable to reboot as I couldn't open the cd draw! I assumed that the Wacom was faulty but it works fine on my back-up Mac mini. Consequently, I had the G5 repaired and the hard-drive cloned and replaced. The Wacom then worked for a couple of months but is now malfunctioning in exactly the same way: ( i.e. any movement results in a drawn black line on a yellow post-it type background). The tablet still works fine with the mac mini. I've tried all the downloads on the Wacom site for OS X 10.4 taking care to uninstall and restart each time, but with the same result. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
