Rainald,

I don't know if this will help. Your comment about the latest Wacom
drivers reminded me. After installing the Wacom drivers under XP. I got
a pop-up error message about 10-15 seconds after logging in that said

Tablet Driver
The tablet driver is not running
and with an OK button

Clicking the OK button cleared the error message, and the Tablet drivers
all seemed to work fine. I finally traced the error message to a program
in the (all users) Start-up folder called TabUserW.exe. This is
apparently a Wacom program that allows multiple users to have different
tablet functionality. Preventing the program from starting (msconfig)
stopped the error messages appearing without any apparent loss of
functionality from the Tablet.

However I don't appear to have a copy in my Vista install. That may be
because I only have a single user account on the Vista install, while
the XP install ( the machine dual boots) has several user identities.
Perhaps the Wacom installer detects the number of user accounts ?

If you have the same program try stopping it. It lives in
Windows/System32/WTablet/

Regards
