Is there a way to get the tablet pen to work outside of art programs? I found some open source software won't work with the pen at all. Help?

The pen works with the tablet, in any program. It functions as a mouse.I use the pen and tablet to browse the internet, and open applications on my desktop.If your pen isn't working in any particular program, you should check the driver, and make sure it is updated.Or you could check the settings of the program and see if there is an option you can select to enable other mouse inputs.Though for me it was set by default.Hope this helps. If it doesnt, feel free to post again, and i'll do my best to help.

I have not found success utilizing the tablet pen with software other than drawing oriented programs.

Wacom has a list of compatible devices, my Asus vivotab8 (win8.1) is in the list, but the pen doesn't works. Probably it was damaged or the compatibility list is wrong. I should recommend you to check in store before you bought

There is a CD with driver and optional software and the driver must be installed first. My recommendation is to go to the mfg site and download the newest driver (see below) and install it. If the driver installs then the board should work when you get it - and you'll be ahead of the game too. For the most part this is a fancy mouse; you move the pointer by hovering the pen over the board (the pen requires a AAA battery, included). Pressing the stylus to the board is like left-clicking, holding the stylus and moving is "dragging", and clicking the stylus button is like right-clicking. The driver must cache move movements than a mouse driver does; if you've ever tried to write your name with a mouse it's nearly impossible but this works very well for things like that. You can fight over the pointer with the stylus and mouse :) My kids use this with TuxPaint, I use it with PhotoFiltre and it's awesome with RealWorld Paint. Should work with any mouse compatible app. After some research I found the mfg is UC-LOGIC. Download the driver here: http://www.uc-logic.com/en/index.php?ParentMenuID=4

Contact Wacom, they have incredible customer service. My pen has worked absolutely fine since I received it.

The stylus pen works as your mouse when it is plugged in so as long as you can use your mouse in the program you can use the tablet

That happened to me recently (on a Mac) for the first time; never had that problem before. The Wacom mouse didn't work either. I couldn't fix the problem in software. Eventually I just unplugged the tablet's cable from my USB hub (without turning off the tablet) and then plugged it right back in again. Fixed the problem immediately.

Im really not sure what you mean. This device just plugs into a USB port and you can draw with the electronic pen. My daughter uses Adobe Illustratator with hers. It just sounds like you are talking about a completely different device.

I don't know about the more modern version of Cintiq but I had issues with my older tablet. OSX claimed the drivers were incompatible. I downloaded them from Wacom again and it's been working fine ever since. Mine has worked after installing the new drivers. You might want to contact Wacom directly to make sure about current generations of equipment and the new El Capitan version of OSX if you upgrade to that.

Photoshop is one of the many applications that the tablet will work with. No you do not. It can be used as a mouse to navigate windows and will give you the functionality of the pen.

cristian you have to ck with MS Specs. the pen was designed for Android systems I think. it has a small electronic package in it. go to frys and try out the bamboo pen which is speced for tablets.

There is an FAQ here which might help: http://draw2much.deviantart.com/journal/Monoprice-Tablet-FAQ-for-Windows-7-342426446It didn't work for me (I had terrible issues with pen pressure because of the driver), but it has worked for other people.

You can if the tablet hardware supports the Wacom pen. If so then the pen will work in a number of applications including OneNote, Word, Autosketch, and Mindmanager.Check the specifications of your tablet to see if the Wacom pen is supported.

I have not, but I'm mostly certain that the technology is universal. Digitized pens will work on ask penabled tablets. I have an Asus slate & I use 2 other digitized pens with it

No, this only works with the Wacom Intuos 4, 5, and certain Cintiq tablets -- which are drawing interfaces for digital artists. *Not* for use with computer tablets like iPads, etc.

The pen mouse only works on devices that can use a mouse. Most of the tablets that I've seen work with a pointing device.
