Your Bamboo should come with a cd. When you install that, there should be a tutorial that you can play. It should show you the basics.

Well I have the Bamboo Pen tablet. Just plug it into your computers USB port. The little LED on the tablet should light up white. Take the pen out. Now, you can move the cursor two ways. You can move it by taking the pen and dragging it across the tablet. You can also just put the pen maybe an inch or so away from the pad and the cursor should still be able to move. Lol not sure if that made sense. In order to draw or drag something the pen has to come in contact with the pad. There is a button on the pen. In order to right click, hold the pen to the pad and press the button. Really everything is pretty self explanitory. Most paint programs respond to pen pressure. Some you might have to go under its settings to turn on pressure sensitivity. Or for one like Oekaki, you need to install a plugin to make it work. Also it's a little hard to get used to. But after a while things start to feel more natural. It took me at least a few weeks before started to draw pretty well with it. Eh hope that helps some.

BTW could i really quickly ask...
Whats pen pressure?

Lol welcome. Pen pressure allows you to draw like you do on paper. Depending on how hard you press down, the strokes will be thinner or thicker.
