Wacom implemented the following changes and improvements:

. This driver includes support for the new Bamboo pen and touch tablets. The size of the download is larger than previous drivers due to the additional touch driver functionality.

..To back up your preferences, go to Start – (All) Programs – Pen Tablet (or Bamboo) – Pen Tablet Preferences File Utility (or Bamboo Preferences File Utility). After the utility launched, select "Back-up", choose the name and location of the backup file, and click OK.
..To restore your previously saved preferences, go to Start – (All) Programs – Pen Tablet (or Bamboo) – Pen Tablet Preferences File Utility (or Bamboo Preferences File Utility). After the utility launched, select "Restore", browse to the location of your backup file and select it, and click on OK.

. Some issues with handling keystroke commands were resolved.

 [Attention]
=====General notes for all versions of Windows=====

.This driver supports the consumer tablets listed above. For concurrent use of a professional Wacom tablet, you need to install a separate professional driver, version 6.05 or later. These two drivers can be added or removed independently of each other.

.For users with Wacom tablet drivers older than v.5.05: For best results, uninstall any Wacom tablet drivers older than v.5.05, restart, temporarily disable your antivirus software and install this new driver. After installation has been successfully completed, re-enable your antivirus software.

(To disable or enable Windows Defender, go to Start – All Programs – Windows Defender.
Then select Tools – Options. Under Administrator options [at the very bottom], select or clear the Use Windows Defender check box, and then click Save. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.)

.To uninstall a driver, go to Start - Control Panels and select Programs and Features (Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (XP). Find the entry for the Wacom pen tablet driver in the list of applications, and then select the Uninstall button located at the top of the application list. Restart your computer before installing a new driver.

.To remove the preferences file and restore all default settings, open Start – (All) Programs – Pen Tablet – Tablet Preference File Utility. Then select to remove the preferences file(s). You must authenticate yourself as an administrator to be able to remove all users preferences.

=====Notes for Windows 7 and Windows Vista=====

.On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, installation of the driver will activate the pen input functions available within the OS and Office 2007 (see http://www.wacom-asia.com/aptky/Vista/vistapenexperience.pdf for details).

.The pen Flicks and Press-and-hold-to-right-click features are disabled in most graphics applications (all that use the Wintab API). This is a workaround to improve drawing performance in these applications when those features are on.

.There is no pressure sensitivity in Journal and other Vista Ink features when both Flicks and Press-and-hold-to-right-click are disabled in the Vista Pen and Input Devices control panel. This is a workaround for spurious double-clicks issued by Vista under that setting.

Windows 2000 is not supported by this driver. To use any of the older tablets with Windows 2000, Wacom recommends driver version 5.08 or earlier.
