I've given up trying to get my old tablets to actually work. Nothing I have tried has worked to bring them back to life, and at this point they really aren't worth the effort.
So...
I ordered myself a Cintiq and it should be here by Wednesday! As much as I would have preferred an off-brand, it's been difficult to track down an off-brand that I can trust to work.
I'm sure it's awesome and I can't wait to start playing with it! I liked my old tablet monitor, it did pretty good for being a fraction of the cost of a comparable Cintiq. But, now I was having a hard time finding an off brand that I could trust. The big thing is that I needed a tablet that had a screen I could draw on and the options are pretty much just Cintiq now.
