Fixing Wacom Touch Failure on Sleep and Hibernate

Friday, April 18th, 2008

I finally found a fix for my Wacom touch screen on my Gateway E155c. I noticed that it stopped working whenever the laptop resumed from sleep or hibernate. To fix this I had to tell vista that it needed to restart the service if it failed. If you are having this problem you can run services.msc from your start bar.

Services.msc

Then scroll down until you find the Wacom Touch Service

Double click on the Wacom Touch Service and go to the Recovery Tab

Change the highlighted areas in the image.

OneNote highlighter and screen grab did its job :)

What have I been doing lately

Lets see I haven’t updated this recently and because this is my personal blog I can write about whatever I want.

I recently bought a new laptop (Gateway E155c) with Wacom which makes the tablet a dream to use. I’m considering making my next post a video with all kinds of neat drawings and diagrams. Anyway, if you are looking for a portable laptop thats direct from gateway and really cheap on ebay, this is it.

I also have a new job. It has taken over a lot of my programming time for the three projects I want to complete and a new one I want to start. The money for the bandwidth has to come from somewhere and Adsense isnt doing so well while the market resets the prices for pay-per-click after the changes they made.

Anyway I plan to have the new Cool Pictures site out in about 5 weeks, complete with a full user authenticated system and new layout.
