Problem:

The Wacom display is not showing up in the driver / the pen is not responding but the display is on

if you click this option it will take a second but the tablet should show up in the Wacom driver main screen and the pen should now be responsive!


Things to remember:

this should only be done if the Wacom is displaying and you know that the cable is not the issue.
