I'm getting REALLY tired of this. [HELP!] by Finchy

I have been having issues with my tablet for a long time. My mother recently bought me a -brand- new one in late February. Brand new. Worked fine for a while and then it started giving me the same issues my old one did.

It will plug into my computer, but the pressure sensitivity won't work randomly. Just out of nowhere. And it won't work for a long time. The other day when I finished my last bust, I set the tablet down for a while, didn't detach it from the computer or anything. Came back that evening and tried to work on another owed commish, and the sensitivity wasn't working. I've been trying to get it to work all day now... I don't understand what the FUCK is wrong with my computer for it to fuck up like this.

In march I got so angry it wouldn't work that I completely uninstalled everything and just reinstalled all of it, thinking that would work. It did. But I don't want to have to constantly do this to solve the problem. That is just fucking stupid and shouldn't be mandatory. Has anyone ever had this problem, and HOW the hell can I stop it?!

I am using a Wacom Bamboo Tablet. CTL - 470

EDIT::

It is fixed and I got a suggestion over on FA about a fix. I won't know for sure if it has worked or not til it starts acting up again if at all :P But the problem they described sounded exactly like their fix probably will end my trials with this tablet. We're thinking it's a mixture of my computer fighting with the tablet's true purpose and my USB ports being all kinds of junk. Hopefully this won't continue, but I will keep everyone's suggestions in mind too in case this doesn't work out.

I'm getting REALLY tired of this. [HELP!]

    When that happens for me I restart my comp, Usually fixes it. Dunno why it does it thought, Might just be a general program problem?

    When's the last time you updated your tablet drivers?

    Yup, had the same problem, you can google updated software drivers for your tablet and it should be completely fixed!

    That definitely sounds like a driver issue. Once in a blue moon mine will stop sensing my pen but reinstalling the drivers fixes it.
