Annoying drawing tablet: HELP!?

[~:WolfObsessed:~]

I have a new Wacom Bamboo tablet since my old Tevion one stopped working and at first I thought: "Ohmahgawsh, fancy new tablet, going to be so fun"
I almost hate it.
I can't draw with it because it so hard to control/innacurate and when I go to click a different pen tool it draws a huge line across my work -.-
Help?

What do you mean by it's hard to control? It's a bit hard at first, but you get better after a while.
This is one of my first drawings I made with a tablet, and this is one of my most recent drawings.

For the inaccurate thing, what do you mean? Is it shaky or something? If yes, set smoothing to 20-40
Also, if you got a Wacom Bamboo tablet, did you enter the disk it came with into your computer and "install" the tablet in? If not, then your tablet will only be able to go in a portion of the screen and then you'd have to lift the pen and move it away from where you left off, and it can be annoying.
If you did install it, then you'll be able to use the computer as if it was a giant piece of paper that you draw on using a metal/plastic thing and a plastic pen.

When selecting a new tool, just do the same thing as you do with a mouse; don't press down when you draw if you're going to select a new tool.
Lets say you where drawing a circle with an airbrush and then wanted to make a square in it using pen.
1. Draw circle like you would if you where drawing on paper
2. Let go
3. Move pen to the pen
4. Press down until pen is selected
5. Let go
6. Move pen to canvas
7. Press down
8. Make a square

I've installed the disk and by innacurate I mean it's like it needs collabrating when you can't do that, and I do let go of the pen since that's kinda' obvious but thanks anyway.

It sounds like you have some kind of software problem, perhaps an installation issue? I would suggest trying to reinstall the software. I have a Wacom Intuos 4, and I've had no problems with it at all - My friend has a bamboo and also has no issues. Make sure you installed it properly / have the right disk for it OH! And make sure you've uninstalled the software from your old tablet!!! If it's still there, the computer might not know what software to run when you plug in your new tablet
