2 weeks ago I got an i7 SP3 replacement due to screen issues and found that the replacement doesn't have the heat issues I experienced with my Pre-Order SP3. Just watching youtube videos made my original SP3 heat up really bad and the fans blowing at maximum. The new one doesn't do it at all...

I've noticed a few times now, when I power up my SP3 (after shutting down completely), touch is not working, neither is pen input. Doing another restart fixes it. Anyone else experience this?

Compatibility mode didn't fix the mouse issue for me. I found out on other forums about windowed fullscreen.

I've played it. It has a bug where the mouse cursor won't move when in game. Set the game to Windowed Mode Fullscreen. It's just like fullscreen mode, but the mouse works. I play SC2 in bed, pretty awesome that you can do that.

It's pretty useless. The curve adjustment is so slight and you can only change the OneNote button to Desktop? What's the point? Still can't change the side buttons. All we need is to be able to change the side buttons!

Microsoft told a friend of mine at the Adobe event that this months update will have pen drivers which will allow a separate release later this month of the pen control panel. Sounds like good news, but the only thing you can do with it is to change the eraser button and the pressure curve...

Wacom Cintiq Companion http://cintiqcompanion.wacom.com/CintiqCompanion/en/

A couple months ago I emailed n-trig support asking about a control panel. They said they provided the SDK to Microsoft and it was up to them to release a control panel. I just hope someone releases one soon.

Microsoft promised a control panel even before the SP3 was released. Then they kept talking about it after the SP3 was released. The control panel would be similar to wacom's and would let you control the pressure curve as well as reassign the button assignments. As it is now, the pen buttons...

It's been promised for August, then September, it's now October. Is it really that difficult to program it?

With so many posting they are on their 3rd or 4th replacement unit, I think that some people are returning their units because they didn't work right, but instead of going through support, just use the 30 return policy. And Microsoft is sending those units out as replacements for real support...

I have a similar dilemma. I really love my SP3, but once I saw the yellow line mentioned on these forums, I can't unsee it. I asked for an advance exchange, but the new one has terrible light bleed: I'm trying to figure out if I should return this one too.

The Cintiq is way overpriced and is too heavy. A co-worker has one and stopped using it outside his home because it's too heavy to lug around. Has terrible battery life and a huge power brick. The SP3 would be perfect for artists if they only had a control panel similar to Wacom's. It's only...

You can also get you credit card to refund the deductible, American Express does it.

Automatic Update still works for the Microsoft version of the Driver. After installing this driver, a driver from Microsoft appeared in the Windows Update Control panel.

To install drivers from Intel, download the .zip version of the driver, unzip it. Right Click on "This PC", select Properties, then Device Manager. Find the graphics adapter, right click on it and select Update Driver Software. Select Browse My Computer... Then select Let me Pick From a List...

Specifically for the 4th Generation Intel HD chips, 4400 and 5000 in our case. Most notably it has some improvement to miracast. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&FamilyId=39&ProductID=3721&ProdId=3721 Installed yesterday. One issue I had, it froze playing Starcraft...

Has anyone successfully backed up their SP3 to restore it to a replacement SP3? My SP3 slipped off my table and in the fall, damaged a corner. The metal casing has a slight dent and a chip on the glass. I want to use the extended service plan to get a new SP3, but It took quite a while to get...

It's not the hovering, but the visual cursor that's the problem. It lags behind. You can disable it in some applications, like Sketchbook Pro and Manga Studio. It makes drawing much better. I wish there was a system wide way to disable the cursor when using the pen.
