MACINTOSH-SPECIFIC PROBLEMS

At startup, a dialog box appears
telling you that either the driver
failed to load or the pen display
preferences have not yet been
created.

The tablet portion of the pen display was not detected at
startup. Make sure the USB interface cable is securely
connected to an active USB port on your computer or to a
USB hub. Make sure that the Cintiq power LED is on and is
glowing blue. If this does not correct the problem, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 42.

From the G

O

menu, select the U

TILITIES

folder and launch the

S

YSTEM

P

ROFILER

. Select USB from the H

ARDWARE

section of

the C

ONTENTS

list. A Wacom USB pen display model should

be listed. If a pen display model is not listed, check the pen
display USB cable connection or try plugging the pen display
into a different USB port.

If this does not help, contact Wacom for Technical Support.
See “Technical support options” on page 57.

You suspect the pen display
preferences may be corrupted, or
want to make certain that all
settings are at their factory
defaults.
