Kirche bought a bamboo pen yesterday. We've been playing with it quite a bit, but the tutorial won't work for it. @.@ We can't figure it out fully. We opened up paint. We would sorta draw with it, but the cursor kept disappearing. @.@ Next thing we know, we were moving the window itself. The booklet that came with it is worthless. Doesn't really show anything.

Any who, it's not the un-sure of what we are doing I want to discuss. I wanted to know how long it took other artists and uses of the Bamboo to get use to it.

Well, I have the Bamboo pen, and I never had any problem with it.
I know that if you press the little button on the pen, it'll basically turn into a mouse, so I don't know if that's what happened to you? But yes, if you press it, it'll select it,and indeed you might find yourself moving things around, and what not. I don't know if that's why the cursor suddenly disappear.

I wish I could be of more help, but mine never disappeared. At first I did have a few mishaps where without thinking, I'd hold it a certain way that would constantly make me press the button, but I quickly changed that, and it was fine after a little while of handling it.

That button does something? lol It didn't seem to do anything. XD It's odd. We were about to install it, and it automatically installed it, and then a bunch of stuff was twitchy and the like. Maybe, we should try to uninstall and reinstall people.

Well, the button is supposed to act like a mouse button. Lol.
Perhaps you should try re-installing it. Mine didn't install automatically, I had to go through the steps.
