I have a similar problem, I can work finelly with photoshop but then out of the blue it starts drawing straight lines… then I close photoshop and open it again and it works fine again… and minutes later I draw stright lines again…

Does someone know what’s wrong? cuz mine works at intervals and I’m not touching any keys that I know of…

Dammit! Why wont anyone post any solutions?? Im having the same fucking problem as Blue. All my drivers are up to date and my goddamn mouse is always unplugged when i use the temperamental thing. There shouldn’t be a friggin problem. Could it be a cs4 thing? Or maybe some arbitrary compatibility problem? Iv spent a good portion of life researching this and have only come across more problems like mine. Wtf.

If none of the solution up there worked, you should use an older version CS3 or CS2…

Having the same problem for Photoshop and Flash CS4….

I don’t think the problem is a mouse/wacom error, but more a processor one. The computer is having trouble keeping up with your tablet movements, so it only registers two points – where you start the brush stroke and where you end the brush stroke; then photoshop merely bridges the gap in the simplest way (a straight line).

Try boosting your Memory Usage and/or Cache levels (Edit – Preferences – Performance) and restarting, as well as making sure the computer itself is up to date and exceeds minimum requirements for CS4.

Hey

I think I found a solution, at least for me it worked out.
The problem came from some sort of disfunctions and bad settings of my Windows Session.
So I created new rights and authorizations. If you feel comfortable (not very useful to be honest) you can create a new user with full admin rights to see if it works there).
That worked for me as I’m working in a company in which my computer is not setted up as Admin.
This is maybe a way to look at, doesn’t mean it is the one..

good luck to you all
Fursy

using your graphics tablet , Go to PS CS4 > window>brushes>click on words Shape Dynamics as well as on the ticking box> controls> press pen pressure. If it displays a ! sing in a triangle means that you don’t have the latest drivers.Go to the website of your graphics tablet maker and download it.

it’s a driver problem, uninstall your tablet driver and install a previous driver from the wacom website..

I uninstalled my wacom tablet, updated the drivers for the mouse and keyboard and still doesn’t work; restore my windows to a time that everything was working fine and the problem is still there. I’m having problems in photoshop and After Effects!!! don’t know what else to do.

This works, but ONLY if you’re using a bluetooth mouse on a mac as far as I know.
