#tablet discussion

It would be great if you could post this to help me find people who can solve this: I'm a happy owner of a 10X6.25 Monoprice tablet. It works perfectly on my MacBook, but I have troubles with it on my new Win7 desktop computer. Pressure sensitivity doesn't work, no matter which drivers I installed. Maybe I'm overlooking something. I am more than happy to draw a free picture for whoever can help me out, since I'm out of ideas how to get my tablet to work :/

I really want to start doing digital art but I have no idea on which drawing tablet I should get. What drawing tablet do you think is better for a beginner?

if it has the name pro in it then it's definitely an upgrade from the old bamboo. :) just a bit of info, bamboo pen actually isn't sold with that name anymore, now it's called 'intuos pen' but it's the same thing I think (same price and functions)

Right now I have the Wacom Bamboo and I've been thinking about upgrading. I've heard good things about the Intuos Pro and it's in my price range. Is it an upgrade or does it have the same capabilities as my Bamboo?

I'm a Digital Art student that splurged on a Cintiq 22HD. Admittedly, I went hungry for a while but I didn't mind since it was an investment in my future. Keyword being investment. If you're new, stick to a cheaper model - in the beginning it's about honing your skills and figuring out how you work. A display tablet will increase your work flow/speed, but it's not about that in the beginning. Go at your own pace. Don't worry about that sort of thing when it's not issue. Just my opinion though c:

I saw a video of someone replacing the surface on Intuos 4, and I had no idea it was replaceable. Has anyone here done it?

ive been using a wacom bamboo create for 4ish years now and it still works good!! sometimes it glitches out though like, wherever i set the pen it clicks regardless if i actually pressed, and sometimes it does that and ends up selecting everything, but thats mostly likely attributed to the fact that my pen lost its button and its innards are exposed and are probably all messed up from like, sweat, dirt, etc. the pen only lost its button when i threw it! sooo its really all my fault :'3c

I had a monoprice for 2 years and honestly, it felt like it had more pressure sensitivity than my wacom did. Installing it was very difficult but once it was installed it was amazing.
