XP-PEN Tablet driver problems . Some error , unsure.
So this post is long, sorry for anyone taking the time to read it .
i have this graphics tablet called STAR 5 . From a Chines company called XP-Pen. Great looking device, but it needs these drivers from their site to work Related Download- xp-pen ( CD Driver Downloads ) .
So this company is known for having non functioning drivers, they work when they want to. No one actually knows how these drivers really work, not even support. So this is a common problem among the digital art community which I dabble in.
So I had a driver installed from a different tablet model from a different company ( Huion ).
Common practice ; to avoid conflicts with the new drivers; by removing the previous one which I did.
Yet The tablet did not work. Currently It has pen cursor tracking ,but no pressure -
(the pen mimics applied pressure on screen, like a traditional tool , pens, markers etc.
So pressure was not working .
After reinstalling drivers over an over, and moving the usb port on a whim , it for no given reason started to work. But only for a hour. I did something to knock it out of wack , now its back to non functioning . Then I kept changing usb ports to no avail.
I probably made the problems worse, when i used Revo Uninstaller to remove it, going into some registry items and deleting files that appeared in a files list ; which possibly included some DLLs that got caught in the list. Probably due to the wonky nature of the xp-pen driver installer. Or whatever the case.
I'm just trying to get this thing running normal. I installed even in different locations. It will ask to install in Programs (x86) . But I installed it in a few locations out of desperation to get it to work, like Programs folder, and just on the main C drive.
I know it can and might work, because it did before for a moment. So i also pressed some things and noticed i get DLL missing errors. So i just need help getting this thing working right. its driving me nuts. its money lost every moment i cant get this to work.
I've recently noticed a wintab32 driver in the tablets' own folder, and took it and replaced the wintab32 in system 32 with it. Normally a driver program will install and work. But placing it there activated something.
But not sure its supposed to be there.
The dll errors are hard to pin point, they come and go, as i install and reinstall .so im just confused here.
The tablet pressure has to work, tracking has to work, and the express button keys has to work. thats what im trying to get . so far, pressure works when it wants to. keys have worked, but no longer work anymore. been that way the whole day.
The tablet drivers from the different company i briefly mentioned, are known for their working drivers. So not sure why those work, but this company cant get their driver in order.
