Reader Question: “Hi Wally, I use wacom pen tablet as my primary pointing device. I was having problems with Windows 8, but its not working at all on Windows 10. All I want is for the drivers to work. I can’t understand why the drivers don’t just work normally like that should.” – Derek T., USA
I think the problem may be that Wacom hasn't provided a Windows 10 compatibility Update to the Drivers for that model, but has for all 'recent' models. The tablet model is a Wacom Bamboo Fun and Touch CTH-661 running on the newest available driver. If there is any other spec info you need to know, that I haven't thought of, let me know.
Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Solution
Here are some ways to fix driver related issues with the Wacom pen tablet.

Now, you can install a new driver. You can do this by going to wacom’s own website and look for drivers there. If you’re new to installing drivers or you don’t want t look for a driver then try using DriverDoc to automatically search, download, and install the driver.
