Verifying Your Computer is USB Ready
Intuos USB tablets require Windows 98 or 2000. Many PCs that shipped with Windows 95 have the USB
port disabled in the BIOS. If you upgraded to Windows 98 or 2000, verify that the USB ports are enabled
in the BIOS and that all necessary system software has been installed. Refer to your system
documentation or contact your system manufacturer for information on enabling USB support for your
computer.
Run the USB Ready utility located on the Intuos CD-ROM to check if your system is USB ready.
If your system is not USB ready, correctly configure your USB port and install the necessary USB system
software, then restart your computer. The N

dialog should appear and you can
continue with the Intuos installation.
Always be sure your tablet is plugged directly into your computer or into a powered USB hub.
