WINDOWS-SPECIFIC PROBLEMS

When working in some
applications, the ExpressKeys
or Touch Ring perform a
different function than what is
set in the Wacom Tablet
control panel.

Some applications can override and control the ExpressKey and Touch
Ring functions.

When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the
ExpressKeys display will automatically update to show either the
new function name or “Application Defined”.

See

using applications integrated for tablet control

.

If you use application-specific settings, be sure you have updated the
settings for the correct application.

installation CD and change the default orientation of the tablet.
