Yesterday, I opened Photoshop to do a quick color sketch. Right away, I noticed Photoshop wasn't picking up the pen pressure on the tablet, or allowing me to use the eraser end normally.

"Oh," I say. "Well, glitches happen. I'll just reinstall the driver."

And so I did, and did so properly - fully uninstalled the old driver first, then installed the new one. Simple. Opened Photoshop, and yay! The pen works.

Finished the drawing, shut down for the night to go partake of blessed sleep. Tonight, I open Photoshop again, feeling like doing an illustration I'd sketched out on paper.

Same pen problems.

D< I know things can randomly stop working, but the DAY AFTER you've fixed them?!

*hauls off to a tech support forum*

Edit: ... Turns out it was just Photoshop hiccuping on registering the pen! It just happened SO CLOSE to a driver reinstall, and the glitch seems to so rarely be on Photoshop's end for me, that I jumped to conclusions. XD Hooray for false alarms!

It happens to me sometime, but I mostly solve it by exiting out of photoshop, and reopening it.

... oh YAY, that actually did it. XD I couldn't remember offhand any time when it had been a simple Photoshop error, so my brain immediately went to "AUGH DRIVER BROKEN WHY".

XD Thank you for pointing out the obvious before I went jumping through hoops looking for a solution. ♥

xD No problem!
