If you may have upgraded the Wacom Intuos latest driver, 6.3.1, you will have noticed it stops the Win 7 power options. While Wacom is promising an update to remedy this, a work around is to unplug the tablet when not in use.

Thanks David. I have an Intuos 4 on Win 7 64 bit and still have the 6.2...driver. I'll keep an eye out for the fixed driver. My tablet is working properly.

Perhaps you can roll back to an older driver while you wait so that you don't have to deal with the workaround?

Preston, I was running the 6.2. driver on Win 7 64 bit and found it hung occasionally on boot up. I upgraded to 6.3 as Victoria Brampton, the Lightroom Queen, noted LR4 performed better with it. But I believe she is a MAC user. :)

I don't know if it will help, David, but I am using the 6.2.0w5 driver and I've not had a hang on boot, or otherwise.
