OK, so I have XP64, 1 Cintiq monitor, 1 regular monitor (LCD)... When both monitors are on, and I move the pen over the cintiq monitor... the cursor moves on the OTHER monitor! As if it's treating tho other monitor as the cintiq! How did THIS happen?!
Solutions that failed:
Display Properties... I TRIED EVERYTHING! From switching Main monitor preferences, to Extending monitor.. The ONLY thing that worked was if I turn off my second monitor. Only then will the cintiq pen affect the cintiq monitor.. But I really want to work duel!
Ayudame!
Under the calibrate tab in the wacom tablet properties window there is a drop down window with a list of monitors. Change that to the Cintiq
You helped so much! Thank you! :) (It was at least my problem. xD )
Uh, I love you! THank you so much!
+1 Thanks, worked like a charm:)
You so rock. THANK YOU!
Cintiq is not listed as a monitor for me...
THANK YOU
That's already listed there for me. Everything was working fine and it suddenly stopped working but all settings are the same.

If I'm reading you right it sounds like a calibration problem. This also happens to me from time to time. I found that recalibrating the pen/tablet (via Wacom tablet properties in the Control Panel) resolves the issue.
Just happened to me too --- but the solution that worked for me is:
1 Open Wacom Tablet Properties
2 In the tool row, select "Grip Pen"
3 Open the "Calibrate" tab
4 Change monitor from whatever it is currently (prob. Cintiq) to the other option... THEN CHANGE IT BACK. The toggling of monitors in this tab seemed to kick the Cintiq to being the monitor that responded to pen input.
I signed up for this site just because you literally stopped my panic attack I was having. I did everything else, including switching to ever monitro and nothing worked, but I never switched it right back to cintiq.
I was ready to start breaking things. You saved my things sir. Tank you.

This sounds like a good solution. However, this "pen controls the wrong screen" problem occurs randomly with my Cintiq. It's a brand new Cintiq Pro 24 Creative Pen Display, plugged into a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) running OSX El Capitan version 10.11.6.
In System Preferences>Wacom Tablet>Grip Pen: the drop down menu only shows "Cintiq Pro" with no other monitor options (see attached screenshot).
When I click "calibrate", the calibration screen (with the target) pops up ON MY LAPTOP rather than on the Cintiq.
This is super weird.
I've noticed one solution: when I physically shut my laptop it makes the Cintiq my primary screen. Then when open my laptop again, my pen's cursor appears on my Cintiq again, and I am good to go.
But why does this problem even occur in the first place? Does anyone have a solution?
I should note that sometimes the pen randomly starts controlling BOTH MY CINTIQ AND LAPTOP, so that when I swipe the pen over my Cintiq, about halfway through the screen the cursor suddenly appears on the laptop screen.

On my imac screen under preferences/display-if I click mirror images it allows me to work on both surfaces but it then turns the color all whacked in my cintiq monitor and when I try to calibrate it -nothing happens.Any suggestions?
You pretty much want these settings on a mac, if its not set to vga2 thats why its doing it.
yes this just fixed mine! Thank you! Under the monitor drop down, it showed my macbook "LCD screen". Just selected the cintiq instead and all good

None of the above worked for me, but this is how I fixed it. Basically you click with your actual pen, and then click 'Display Toggle'. Then it'll work fine and with the correct monitor (e.g. the Cintiq).
Hi all,
I'm having the same issue. No matter what settings I have (I've tried all of the above suggested), my pen affects my desktop display instead of my cintiq, and exclusively. It won't even track to the extended side that my cintiq is set for, even though the desktop shows up on it.
Help?
Right click on your desktop, choose 'Display'
Change 'Display' to your cintiq from the drop down.
Then turn on the checkbox for 'Make this my main display'.
It's happened to me twice and both times this has fixed it :)

I had the same problem. When I set everything up, I made my regular monitor the primary monitor, and the Cintiq the secondary monitor. And, like you, my pen would control the cursor on my regular monitor, not my Cintiq.
When I switched it so the Cintiq was the primary monitor, the pen worked on the Cintiq.
I hope this is not required. I would really like my regular monitor to be my primary. Has anyone had success making the Cintiq their secondary monitor?
