OK thanks for your assistance Shawn!

In addition, you could also change the taskbar flash count so it won't be so annoying.

So I have been having this issue recently, it appeared out of no where and I have determined that this is almost certainly the issue I am having. The kicker though is that I get as far as 5. To ID Screen for Pen Input. For one reason or another my stylus acts as a cursor (though still having issues with the monitors as described above) but when I go to do step 5, when it tells me to tap the screen with my stylus, when I do so nothing happens. It does not register the touch whatsoever. Even when I disconnect the second screen (i.e. the one I do NOT want the pen to register to) it still does not register my stylus' touch in the Pen Input Screen.

Hello Withheld, and welcome to Eight Forums.

Do you have all drivers installed?

 

[Withheld]

As far as I know, I do. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers twice since this issue has come up. At least the drivers to my Ugee tablet.

I'm afraid that I'm not sure why either.
