Jeremy Hubbell: The solution to the driver problem is to install the 1989 driver that Summa shipped with the Summasketch Plus in that year. The driver works very well with the following software: Micrografix Designer Version 3 & 4 Aldus Gallery Microsoft Word v.1 & Up Microsoft Excel v.3 & Up Visual Reality v.1 Autocad Light for Windows Professional Draw v.1 Adobe Illustrator 4 for Windows Windows 3, 3.1 & WFW 3.11 Canvas for Windows Corel Draw (all versions) The only programs that this old driver does not work with is Photoshop for Windos v.3 & Fauve Matisse. In order to use these programs I will have to re-install the Wintab Driver. The above driver is not a Wintab driver, it was written before Windows came to the masses. What I resent is that no one is recognizing the problem nor are they doing something about it. Otherwise, Autocad, with its resources, would have released a fix. Summagraphics doesn't care. I notified them of this problem when I upgraded in June. Fauve Matisse was notified and did research and notified me that indeed, their software was not compatible with the new Wintab driver and it would be corrected in their new release in October of this year. My point is that in order to use Animator with the Wintab driver am I going to have to wait until version 2 of Animator comes out? I was in retailing for 20 years and customers always let me know when I had made a bad purchase of a product that I was re-selling to them. I always immediately corrected the error. Is it too much to ask that Autodesk, who is acknowledged as a leader, get their collective posterior in gear? You didn't answer the question as to why Autocad Light works with the Wintab driver and Autocad Animator does not. Sonny Martin 76767,435
