What tablet are you using - mine is a kurta isone 1212. And do you have 
multiple montors - this seems to be what causes these programs grief.

either.

Do you know what I mean by tablet menu - like for Autocad. It can occupy 
most of the space on the tablet surface leaving an area for pointing and 
picking. When you click on a particular "hot spot" the command you 
programmed into the tablet menu runs - either a script or a menu 
command. I find this quicker and easier than using on screen menus.
