TESTING THE TABLET
The PenPartner CD-ROM has a test program (WTEST) that checks for proper communication between
your computer and the tablet. It also tests the UltraPen for proper function. Run this test before calling
WACOM Technical Support; they will want to know the results of the test.
The test program determines the communication port number, Interrupt Request (IRQ) line number,
memory address, and baud rate. It saves this information to the WACOM.INI file in the directory where the
WTEST program is located and in your Windows subdirectory. The WACOM driver for Windows looks at
the WACOM.INI file for the location of the WACOM tablet. If the tablet is not found, try locating it first with
this test program and then start Windows to load the WACOM driver again.
RUNNING WTEST
To run the WTEST program:
1. Exit Windows and restart your computer in DOS real mode.
•
In Windows 95, click on the Start button and select Shut Down.... Then select Restart the
computer in MS-DOS mode? and press Enter.
•
In Windows NT, shut down NT. At the boot screen select MS-DOS. If the MS-DOS option is not
available, reboot the computer using a DOS boot floppy.
•
In Windows 3.1, exit Windows.
2. Go to the WACOM subdirectory where the WACOM test program is installed. For example, type
cd\wacom.
