Did you find the solution to this yet? I have the exact same problem with my Wacom tablet.

Is this an optical mouse? Does it have a laser on the bottom of it instead of a ball? Sometimes hairs or dirt particles can get stuck on the lens and cause behavior like you are describing. If so, try turning the mouse over and if you have some compressed air you can use it to try to clean the lens. If you don't have compressed air, try blowing on the lens or gently wiping it with a cloth. and for more info contact http://tinyurl.com/m7ghqz

why cant i use my wacom tablet as a regular mouse pad it allows me to go on line but not search?

There is a problem with the compatability of your tablet and your monitor. You either have to change your monitor to a different refresh rate or simply move your tablet abit further way from your monitor. If possible, you could change your tablet to "single mode" (depending on your tablet).

I once had that problem on a Toshiba and it turned out to be related to the battery. Try removing it and using the cord and see if that helps.

Sorry, but I haven't found a solution. Please let me know if you do.

Laptops are much more limited on the supply side for powering USB devices. This is limited by the operating system in the computer. There are some things that you can try such as a shorter cord if the cord is detachable. The cord length affects the voltage and that in turn affects the current. The OS then senses it a drops the connection. This is partly for safety and partly for battery conservation. For some time, that device was not recommended by Apple to be used for that matter. There was a bulletin issued on it but it appears that Apple did not do anything to change the situation.

Using Windows? Open up the Device Manager by right-clicking "This PC/My Computer" and select "Manage". On the left pane, click "Device Manager". Depending of the version of Windows you're running, the tablet could be listed under "Portable Devices" or "Mice and other pointing devices".Once you see it, move that window off to the side so you can still see the entry for your tablet. Now use the tablet as normal until it stops working. If it disappears from the list, you've probably got yourself a wiring/hardware problem. (My tablet's cable eventually developed a bad USB cable from years of moving around/use).Since the tablet itself still recognizes you after it stops responding on the screen, wondering if you may have updated the software/drivers lately (even by accident by clicking an "OK" dialog by rote...) - try "rolling back" the driver to an earlier version. If this is really new, any chance you could use Window's Restore function to go back a snapshot or two to when it did work fine? Always back up your important files (say, documents/designs etc) to another drive before doing anything. Good Luck!
