I can tell for sure that the FW12 is “seeing” the stylus, i.e. buttons and tip, but I can’t seem to get it to write on any programs (paint, bamboo paper, etc). I’ve searched for the recommended Pen & Windows Ink settings and have “Let me use my pen as a mouse when it’s available” without luck. I’ve even tried setting the bios to USI (not sure that’s needed for the FW stylus).

Anyway, I’m sure I’m missing a simple setting and would appreciate any guidance!

Thanks, Brian
