Misc

Well… I bought Aiptek 14000u graphics tablet mainly to speed up my work with textures. The tablet is quite fine actually, sleek design and good pen. Pretty good bang for your buck!

Bur the thing i had problems with was that the damn tablet lacks support for two monitor setup… It was pretty frustrating. I tried everything to get it to work, from re-installing windows (tried out Windows 7, which is nice by the way) to manually editing the driver files. No luck with that.

After about a week I decided to do some extra research on the subject. It turned out that the damn media tablet was actually a Taiwanese Waltop tablet. Luckily, the Waltop site had more recent drivers to download than the Aiptek site. I installed the Waltop drivers and a new menu popped up in the tablet setting. This new menu was about working area! I could set the tablet to work on the screen I wanted it to work on : )

So the morale of the story is don’t spent days trying to get your Aiptek tablet to work with your two monitors! Just get the drivers for the real product you bought, meaning Waltop media tablet.

Oh, and do not bother with mailing Aiptek support…
