Wacom Bamboo Fun stylus issue

Hello,
I received the bamboo fun graphic tablet for Christmas.
Problem: my stylus doesn’t work. When I slide my fingers on the tablet, the cursor responds, and when I bring my stylus close to the tablet, the light turns orange (normal), but the cursor does not respond.
However, I fortunately found a solution :D
A few months went by without using it.
Today I plug all the equipment back in and the same problem occurs. I restarted my PC, reinstalled the driver, changed the tip, but nothing works...
The worst part is that I managed to get it working in the past... But I can't remember how.
I've gone through topics related to my issue, but I found nothing more satisfactory than dismantling my stylus, which I really dread. But I know there’s another solution.
Thank you in advance.

The solution is simply to uninstall everything named "bamboo" on your PC, and then download the latest drivers available here: https://www.wacom.com/en-us/support/product-support/drivers
It worked perfectly for me.

Old topic, but thanks, I have a Wacom Volito, and I had the drifting pointer issue, even when I stayed in the same spot on the tablet, it was driving me crazy.
Here’s the link for old tablets:

It is what it is, but on my phone, I've noticed that rebooting by switching the tablet to a different USB port worked - I was told it was a matter of primary and secondary ports...

Rah, I have the same problem as you right now! I remember messing around with some settings in the control panel because I got tired of the small window that appeared (to type with the graphic tablet, like email addresses, etc.), at least I had it under Vista. I fiddled with something and now the cursor won't respond at all, the touchpad reacts (the light intensifies) normally, but the cursor doesn't move an inch!

Help us! lol

Thanks in advance.

I also have a problem: the "pencil" tip of my stylus is not working anymore and I can't download the latest drivers.

Exactly the same problem, I restarted my PC to make it work again, but now it doesn't work at all even after restarting it!

The same story for me from A to Z!!! I hope SDSGN's technique will work... ;)"

I used to restart it before and it worked, but not anymore. I'm in the same boat... except this is my work tool and it's not easy to do with the keyboard or my finger what I can do with a stylus...

Help us!
