Bought the referenced tablet from you for a gift. Unfortunately my daughter cannot install the tablet since she uses the XP operating system. Do you have access to driver that might support this tablet in XP? The Websites listed in the operations manual are not operational. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tim

Hi, we did not provide a link for the drivers at the time, but you can download them from here: http://tekgems.com/dl/index.php?path=input-devices/

jamstudio-xp.zip

Thanks.

hi .. was given one as a gift.. and was able to get the driver needs but now that i am up and running I am finding that i cannot use the pen on most tools and cannot draw a continuoos line withthe pen..argh couldsomeone plz help.
crystal

Hi Crystal,
1) can you elaborate on the not being able to use the tools?
2) As for the continuous line, a ruler or book edge can be useful.
3) Are you using serial or USB port?

I'm having the same problem...I've installed the program and installed the driver it prompted me to, and tried it with the USB cable, and the other, but I still can't use my graphics tablet. I have Windows 98.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thank you...
Dawn

Hi Dawn, we would need some more information to go one. Are you using the drawing software JamStudio provides or are you using a program like PhotoShop? Users have reported success with PhotoShop and other graphics programs, but did require some tweaking. The JamStudio tablet is not professional grade like a Wacom, but some people have been successful with it.

I am using the JamStudio with PaintShopPro. On XP. It works fine with the driver I found here.
The only complaint, is that the settings do not allow "Left click"
I allows "Left click - double click"
Which means, that it just double clicks the way your mouse does.
It is not a regular left mouse button.
So.. I press the left mouse button on my mouse and have disabled the button on the pen all together.
To do that:
Control Panel>JamStudio
Sensitivity set to heavy and the mouse button option to OFF.
That is the only way I can make it work.
I agree. it is a toy.. and would do better to upgrade to a wacom.

Have xp & 98 box here. Works dandy on 98, really nice on photoshop. On xp the drivers recognize but it does not respond! help

jason

I have used the jam studio for over a year on win 98se with no problems,upgraded to xp installed the drivers from the kb gear site (before they went bust) & it worked fine.
I recently had to do a format & now cannot get the jam studio to work the software comes up & works fine with the mouse xp says the tablet is working ok but the pen still does not work.Tried altering the 'mouse'settings in control panel still no joy.Anyone any ideas.
Thanks

I have order jamstudio 'cause I found a deal. I really hope it will work well in windows 2000 and photoshop 7

thanks. the xp-driver is work. now i'm enjoy using jam studio. this product is cool. even though i'm disappointed at the first time installing it.

Hi all,
I brought home the Jam Studio Tablet yesterday for $ Can. 24.00 and found out it just a toy.
The company made it went out business, it's website domain is up for sell and the tablet is only work with USB version 1.
On my network, it only work on old P3-800 which is BX chipset on Main board, on Pentium 160 - Win 8=98SE it nerver work regardless what kind of connections, on other 2 computers ( P4, Athlon XP 2200) the control panel shows Human Device working properly, the tablet's light is lit but nothing show as a cursor.
On the working one PC, the tablet is choppy, hard to use and nerver show up on Photoshop or any other photo editing program.

You can download driver for Windows XP here:
http://tekgems.com/dl/index.php?path=input-devices/

For those who manage to have it works, congratulation but right now for me it just a piece of scrap, I realized I just help to clear out a remain inventory from a warehouse, since there is no return as it's final sell.

I got mine working in XP but it's so sensitive that I can't use it. Could not find anything in the Control Panel to make adjustments...any help?

<QUOTE>...does anyone know what the tracing overlay is made of?...if it's just heavy plastic I can probably just buy a transparent placemat </QUOTE>

It is just a piece of medium weight plastic....just heavy enough not to fold down if you held it out by one corner.

Got mine working on XP with new drivers, but there is no Control Panel to adjust the settings. Mine is so sensitive that you can hold the pen an inch or so above the tablet and the screen cursor will move

<QUOTE> Got mine working on XP with new drivers, but there is no Control Panel to adjust the settings. Mine is so sensitive that you can hold the pen an inch or so above the tablet and the screen cursor will move

I'm really thinking hard about the problems you guys are having since they may well be mine in between one to six weeks...I was wonderring which programs you're using it with...photoshop, paintshop, and corel photopaint digital camera edition, all have options within the apps for changing the settings for your peripherals...also I was thinking that if you only upgraded from windows 98 you might be able to get it to work if you first install to win 98 with the original drivers then upgrade...like I said before I'm using windows 98...but I did try windows me...I had problems with older camera drivers...installed them to windows 98 first then upgraded the os and drivers and the camera worked fine after that...If you can afford a wacom now buy one...compusa has them in abundance...if not then your only choice is really to experiment with all your options...try anything and everything you can think of...even if it seems crazy...sometimes the most absurd ideas work the best in practice and the most logical ones don't work at all...you might even be able to get it to work with something as simple and stupid sounding as putting something like a plastic or rubber sheath of some sort over the tip of the pen to dull the sensitivity of the pen...

Here's another idea...it may sound hokey and a bit off topic however the solution found may apply here...I purchased a second hand hewlitt packard scanner and couldn't get it to work(I needed a specific cable and the site said that an adapter just wouldn't work). So I checked around the various forums for hewlitt packard and someone said they had to remove the latest drivers then install all the drivers starting with the original windows 98 drivers up to xp...it seems that hewlitt packard had left some key data out of the xp drivers and that's why it didn't work...long(very long) story short, maybe kb left some important strings of data out of the latest drivers and you should try uninstalling the xp drivers(making sure the xp driver is saved to your hard disk of course) then installing the original drivers and then the xp drivers as well...:) keep the faith...since Murphy's Law allways seems to apply to computers there's no reason(other than buying a Wacom of course) to give up...frustrated just uninstall the drivers and tablet for a few days and think about your problem...trouble shooting's a pain...and that goes double for when we're troubleshooting less than perfect equipment...but it's worth it if only so you have good advice for the person you give or sell the tablet to once you get around to upgrading...by the way...check with craig'slist...I think there's one for every major city and it's surrounding areas...I live in San Francisco and there are alot of Mac Addicts here, but you may be able to find a used or even new Wacom for as little as $20.00. I finally got a Microtek Slimscan off of Craig'slist and it works great and came with everything the factory intended for it. Good Luck everyone

by the way...the url for craig'slist is http://www.craigslist.org/ (type craig'slist into your search engine if you're having trouble finding your local list) For anyone who doesn't know because they're new to computers or just because nobody ever botherred to tell them...craig'slist is just an online database of sorts with items and service for sale by local individuals...they'll usually meet you somewhere if you're not comfortable with going to their house or having them come to yours...plus if you don't like the looks of something you can just say something like it's not what I was expecting and I'd rather not purchase it thanks anyway...as opposed to just being stuck with something you don't want. plus it's a good way to sell this tablet once you buy that Wacom you have your eye on

I got the tablet to work but it is just too sensitive. As soon as I move the ben my screen goes bonkers. I have XP and after instalation with the drivers for XP I did not have the jamstudio option in my control panel to change the settings. Is there a way to get it in there so I am able to adjust the sensitivity of the tablet?

I just got one of these tablets and can't get the pen to work at all. The book says to go to the control panel and use the Jam Icon to set up the pen. The Icon just ins't there. I have tried to install it 3 times now, using USB and Serial connections. What do I do to fix this please. Other wise it is useless

I had my KB Jam for over a year without problems. I used the drivers from

http://tekgems.com/dl/index.php?path=input-devices/
- if you install the tablet with the Jam software and extract the above zip file, click on the install icon, go to contorl panel, you'll find the Jam Icon in there. Right click on it, open and you can adjust the sensitivity of your tablet.
I never ran into problems with it, I paid 20 bucks for mine and have made beautiful graphics with it.

I just got a KB Jam Studio tablet...wow whata pain...first it wouldn't work with my mouse plugged in, now I can't make it draw. I can make it do tiny lil dots, but no continuous flow. Any suggestions?

I have Windows XP and a Pablo tablet. I downloaded the driver for the XP edition and ran the setup, them got a message saying 'Setup Failure: code e0000219'. Does anyone know how I can make it work?

the pen sensitivity on mine sucks....just like ppl have said, it registers no prob an inch off the pad, it's clicking and drawing that sucks. You nearly have to jump on it for it to register. Thinkin about crackin the darn pen open and fiddling with it.

Thank you. I have a Jam Studio tablet and the changes worked for my Win98 computer.

Installing the Jam Studio is a little challange, but I was able to install it on an XP machine and also got the control icon.

Install the driver
Install all the software from cd
connect tablet
restart machine
install the driver once again.

Now it should work with the settings icon within control panel.

has anyone used it in photoshop 5.5?

hey, i got the tablet today, it kina kinda works ok, for a laptop it's good, but the pen has ONE sensitivity setting...i haveto puch quite hard...not too hrd, but enough to be anoying....do u guys know if a diferent stylus mght work?
oh if u want a cool tablet look for a AIPTEK, they are sleek, quite good, and the price is between WAICOM and JAM...myne had no usb, so i bought the JAM, the new ones should have it, but it's damn hard to find one....
anyway, if anybody knows how to change the sensitivity of the pen tell me (the control pannel icon has no efect..it apers but has no efect)
thenks a lot

I have Windows XP and my tablet is working just fine after downloading the drivers above. Look for an icon that says "Sketchboard Studio" in the control panel to adjust the settings. Mine was way too sensitive at first too, but it working like a charm now. I'm also able to use it in PSP 8.0. Thanks for the updates!!

I finally got my Jam Studio tablet installed with a working settings icon in the control panel. I probably had it working all the time, but just looking in the wrong place for the settings icon. XP's Control Panel differs somewhat from 98's. Unless you are in "Classic View" you may need to select "Other Control Panel Options" form the left-side menu to find your "Sketchboard Studio" icon.

Hi. I have windows XP and the drivers still don't work! And the pen, the little green light on the side always blinks, then when you move the cord alittle bit over to the side or put tape on it, it work. When I first bought it like that, that was the way that it was. I mean the people that made this tablet must have been on something, because my intructions on how to hook it up where all writin' wrong! I have had more problems with it then any other devise on my computer. I am considering to pruchas a wacom tablet, but they are really expenssive. I also could use in in photoshop, painterpro8.0, open canvas,oekaki, and paint. So that was one good thing. But still your prouduct is shit. It was broken in the first week that I used it.

The question that I am asking is; Why does the little green light on the side blink all the time? And how can I stop that?

I have mine working but my question is does anyone have the pressure working. The way it's setup it's a glorified mouse. That's fine and worth $20 I guess but I was hoping that the harder you pressed the wider the line, etc. PSP7.0 has this setting but it seems to have no effect. Anyone have the pressure working?

I reciently was given the pad for the jam pad model kgtab1 was wondering if anyone could tell me how i can get a replacement pen for it, My friend couldnt find his when he gave it to me. if at all possible please email me at Jamilynne Selana [at] aol.com please?

I've had this Tablet for a few months now....I had to download a special driver for it because it said it was compatable with XP but wasn't....then the damn thing was way to sensitive...after many hours of search and looking stuff up I learned that in the control panel is where you can set up the controls on this thing....Mine was under skecth board studio...which makes now sense to me because its called jam studio...but now after all that it works good in photoshop and illustrator. if anyone needs help you can IM me at tbush696 on AIM....I'll help you as much as I can.....Thanks

The pressure on my pen works great. I use it in photoshop 7.0 It might depend on what program you use it in.

Bought this useless piece of hardware earlier in the year. Have followed all the advice given above for using with XP and sort of got it to work but it is very temperamental and quite frankly belongs in the bin!! To save my sanity have decided to put it down to experience and buy a proper graphics tablet.

I have the tablet recently, and I don't have any of the original installations disk. I have XP, a scroll mouse, and the Table in the serial port, I have a laptop, and I want to work with Photoshop 5.5 (I hope). I download the drivers you mention (all of that) and not work. Can some one help me? thanks

Exactly, which installation file did you download? What did you try? It is very important when you install new software and drivers that you close out of all your applications and system tray programs. Please tell us exact steps you used to when attempting the install.

Hi again. I am the guy that don't have original installations disk, but I have now, and I install the software, and drivers download, but don't function the table. In answer I have to tell that I download all the drivers in this site(ex: http://tekgems.com/dl/input-peripheral/jamstudio.zip) and I install correctly, but still not function. Nothing appears in the Control Panel to configurate (in Other Control Panel... nothing). At installation, none program was running. The steps are: I install the software in the CD (for Win98), shut down PC, and later, install drivers downloaded... but... nothing happend. I plug in the table in RS-232, and in PS/2. In RS-232 nothing happend, in PS/2 led is flashing but nothing more. Thanks for your suggestions. Gonzalo

Hi Gonzalo, there is another thread that recommends downloading the JamStudioXP file. Read this thread, toward the bottom:

http://tekgems.com/forum/forum4-76.htm

Hello, I've got the tablet from E-bay and have installed the driver and the Jam Studio software. The tablet works one inch from the tablet,but there is no control panel icon. I am running on Windows XP and was wondering if there is an certain order in which I have to install all of the software. When I tried to install the driver first, it wouldn't let me. Help me please!

Simple Fix To Problem: Pen Too Sensitive
I had this problem on XP using photoshop and was able to fix it by changing the brush mode to "normal" it had been on "linear burn" which performs some sort of multiplication to the co-ordinate and pressure values received from the tablet.

Simple fix - works great now!

[b]Too sensitive continued [\b] - The above may not be accurate. i\It seems that if I use my regular mouse for all navigation in photoshop (opening menus and windows) and only use the pen as a pen for drawing, then it works fine. If I use the pen as a mouse, the super sensitivity becomes an issue and I have to quit the photoshop application and start over.

I had all the problems that everyone else seemed to with the XP drivers and the icon not showing up in the control panel. Someone posted that you need to go Start>Control Panel and then off to the left it says "other control panel options" your Jam Studio icon is in there, and then you can adjust the pressure sensitivity to suit you. Ty to whoever gave that piece of info, it worked for me and now my $30 cheap tablet works just fine :)

Thanks to the help on this page, I got my Jam Studio Tablet working in about 15 minutes using XP and the driver on this page. Tried to explain how in this little box but system keeps erasing it. But you can email me at Energynightmare [at] netscape.net for instructions.

Well , Im another one I hooked up the jam studio and nothing , Im running windows 98 I have tried it in the software from jamstudio and in paintshop .. nothing! the light on the pad comes on but I cant get the pen to work at all! The one I got didnt have directions to hook it up with I thought I had it hooked up right using the usb port. Still nothing. is there a driver for the 98 maybe that I didnt get downloaded?

is anyone using this on a mc? if so , are you having as many problems as windows users were?

Control pressure sensitivity in XP - If you goto Control Panel, on the left frame, under "See Also" select "Other Control Panel Options." In the page that comes up, there is a link to Jam Studio that lets you change sensitivity -- getting rid of the awful over-sensitivity problem. The configuration software on the CD only runs on Win 98.

I have a jamstudio tablet and there is nothing working on it .Doi need to download a driver

HI ALL

i finally found out how to get the control panel on windows xp.... all you have to do is switch the control panel to the classic view.... easy huh

Hi. I would like to know if the JamStudio is the same as the Pablo Internet tablet? Would the above driver for XP work for it as well? If not, where could I find an XP driver for a Pablo tablet?

Got a Jam Studio for my daughte running XP Pro, USB connection, AMD XP2500 cpu, 512 meg ram, downloaded the xp patch to get the icon in the control panel, can set the pen sensitvity and the button clicks in control panel but when trying to dram a line or a brush stroke they are not continuous you only get a mark everytime you click the button yet if I use my mouse I can draw a continuos line with every tool they have. Any suggestions are welcom

i have no clue where to find a driver for the tablet for windows 2000 pro can someone please help me i got it for christmas. I got a new computer after that and it wont run on windows 2000

I have been looking for a tablet. After reading all this... I have come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for.. I will pass and spend a couple dollars more and get something that I know works without all the trouble. Thank you all for the input or lack there of…. hehe

Hi, you can look at this thread - toward the end you will see specific instructions on how to install this:

http://tekgems.com/forum/forum4-76.htm

Thanks.

Having problem getting a continous line or brush stroke too (same as dyno56).
How do we fix this?

I have a Windows XP computer. I got the light on my jamstudio tablet to blink after I plugged it into a PS2 port. I tried the XP driver beforehand, but it did absolutely nothing. I tried it several times more and it still didn't work! The pen won't draw and there is no icon in my Other Control Panel Options. It just blinks and I'm very unsatisfied. All I can do is play with it and pretend that it's a working Wacom tablet. A tablet that's way out of my price range. Oh, I wish I could have one!

I have Jam Studio drawing pad on a Win ME pc. I have the device and driver installed. I don't have a manual. HOW IN THE HECK DO I GET THE PEN TO WORK! I've read the threads on this forum and still don't see how to get it to work onscreen.

I first installed Jam Studio to my win xp laptop and had it running real quick. After unplugging it and then plugging it back in, it quit working. I ran the second install again and it was back to working fine again. It was my win 98 machine that gave me a headache. After messing with Jam Studio tablet a bit , I have a few recommendations... and this applied to both XP and 98. Run the install from the cd that comes with the Jam Studio. Plug the tablet in. Run the updated install for 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP available from here: http://tekgems.com/dl/index.php?dir=.%2Finput-devices

You *might* have to reboot again, or maybe not. But after doing this it should work and have the icon in the Control Panel for adjusting the sensitivity. Which brings me to the next point. As it is set, pressing down on the stylus is a left mouse click, pressing the button on the barrell is a right mouse click. Also, pressing down on the stylus will make it write. In the control panel settings for it you can adjust how hard or soft to push on the stylus to make it write or click. I am using the tablet with both Windows 98 and Windows XP now, no problem. Also, I am using Photoshop 6 with it just fine.

It took some time, but after switching to "classic view" in control panel and turning off the button click, i've discovered that, while it takes some getting used to, my tablet works pretty well. And yes, I have XP. I have to press pretty hard and it's a bit like using one of those pens that you haveto hold a certain way to get the ink to run, but it works. So, there you go.

1. Instal the driver and the software.
2. Hook up your tablet.
3. open control panel and hit 'classic view'
4. click on sketchboard studio and adjust settings accordingly.

I have gotten it to work in Painter 7 and in Photoshop 7, altho in photoshop the line is very light (which is no different from my drawing style so it doesn't bother me) Theonly difficulty that i have is it's a little hard to draw on the tablet because you have to watch the screen to see what you're doing, but if you, say, put a pencil skecth over the tablet so that you can transfer it to photshop or something to cg, it works really well.

I figured out a workaround the dreaded limited mouse-click options in the SketchBoard Studio (Contol Panel settings) without having to resort to messing with your windows mouse settings.
Go into your WINDOWS directory and loacte WINTAB.INI.
Scroll down to the middle under the KIDBOARD section.
You should see the Csr0SysBtns heading and change its first two values to 0 1 (the rest should be zeros anyway) and restart your computer.
This should enable the normal left-button 'single' click option (as opposed to the Left button double-click & the backwards Right button-click options).

If for whatever reason you need to adjust any SketchBoard Studio settings in your Control Panel then you will need to re-edit your Wintab.ini and restart your computer to make this option work again!!!

BTW, there's another thread on this tablet here.

I have had the tablet for about 4 years now. I can get the icon in the control panel but I can't get the light from blinking. I had found a trouble shooting line here one time. But that was when the Jamonline site was open. Can anyone tell me what to do about the blinking light?
Thanks...Sissy

Just got this for my daughter and have followed the instructions and driver download for WinXP. I can't get the pen do do anything more than leave "blocks" of color instead of working like a brush. The mouse works like a brush, but I got Jamstudio because it had a pen to hold. Can anyone help me??

i have the jamstudio drawing tablet and i can not even get my computer (xp home) to recignize that its there. i have gotten the files from the links in here and still it wont work. i have also tried some other sites with diferant files and no luck.
it seems to me that this thing was only ment to work on old systems. i would appreciate it if those of you taht did get it working could tell me exactly what you did. or send me the files you used. thank Madik

I have gone to the links to download the drivers for XP and have been unsucessful. It is saying "The software you are installing for this hardware : KBGear Serial Plug-N-Play Tablet has not passed Windows Log testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP" and when I click Continue Anyway I get Setup Failure, code e0000219. can anyone help me? PLEASE

I recently purchased a JamStudio tablet. It came with one C.D., It was blank with no label, from what I've read in other forums, That means it is a new one. The was no install program on the disc. I downloaded a driver off of the internet, but I still can't open the drawing program because there is none. I have a Mac. I hope you can help.

Ok, I've been reading these and the other message, uhh forum4-76 i think it is..and I've tried d/l the XP driver, installing it, cold reboot, reinstalling it, changing the pressure settings. If I reboot my computer the tablet works for about 3 minutes, then stops. Then I have to do a cold reboot again to get it to work.

I'm running XP Home on 1.1GHz AMD Duron Processor, 184k RAM, with 40G HD.

Any help appreciated!

Just a quick question, I was able to install the drivers (somewhat) successfully, in that my computer (running XP) recognizes the drawing tablet. My probelm is, that everytime I move the pen on top of the tablet my computer restarts itself, deleting all of my settings. This is getting really frustrating. I've tried re-installing the drivers 3 times but nothing seems to fix my probelm. Any advise would be appriciated. Thanks, Leslie.

IF FOUND THAT THE PEN NOT WORKING PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY UNPLUGING THe PEN FROM THE TABLET DURING BOOT UP . ONCE IN WINDOWS INSTALL THE DRIVERS.TURN OFF THE COMPUTER(NOT RESTART OR SLEEP) PLUG THE PEN IN AND BOOT IT UP. WORKS FOR ME EVERY TIME I HAVE TO REFORMAT MY DRIVES

I can't seem to find my icon in Control Panel anywhere!!!! I have XP. Could someome reccomend a sure-fire driver for it? I tried switching to Classic View, Other Control Panel Options and still can't find it. Did a search for WINTAB.INI and it's not listed either. HELP!!!

I have had my tablet for 3 years, worked good in Win98SE, got a new computer(XP Home), did a search for drivers, found this site. :-D I downloaded the drivers, installed them, system auto rebooted once, installed the drivers again. Everything works good except for sensitivity. As suggested, went to the Control Panel, hmm, couldnt see the icon, switched the control panel to Classic view, and BAM, there it is. Adjusted the sensitivity too "heavy", set barrel button to "left mouse double click" and everything works fine. I am using Photoshop for my graphics program, system specs are 64mb VC, 512mb PC2700, 160gb HD, Win XP Home with all updates. Hope this helps someone out, I know some of the stuff already posted helped me out.

The blinking green light occurse when the tablet isnt getting a signal from the pen via the wire plugged in on the bottom. I would check that connection first. If that doesnt seem to rememdy it, I really dont know what to tell you except it probabley has a short in the wires like a power connector gets in radar detectors that you have had for awhile. Wires are just strectched out and bent over time, and not making the needed connection anymore. :-( Hope this helps.

Thank you for the XP drivers...it works great!! Googled you and now I'm using my JamStudio Tablet.

i have one but when i use the xp drivers it says it didnt pass microsoft logo testing, and i do it anyway, but when i try to use it, my computer just turns off by itself, an restarts

Thank you very much for XP drivers, it work very well on the first shot with a USB Hub

I have gotten the tablet to work a few times, but most of the time my computer restarts as soon as the pen touches the tablet, any ideas

Given how old this post is, I doubt anyone will see this reply. Regardless, the XP drivers also seem to work perfectly under Windows 2000 Professional. MUCH better than the bug-ridden third party driver I was using before. Thank you!

I have a question, and I need help! I only use my tablet for drawing, and I never use the program which is provided. The tablet installed and everything was perfect. Once we've restarted the whole computer from scratch, it now won't install! It was perfect before, but now it says it needs the windows 98 CD (which it didn't need before, and we don't have one) So I'm really stumped! Please help me, I love to draw on the computer and now I can't.

I'm trying to use this with Paint Shop Pro 7, but with little success.

Despite clicking the "pressure sensitve tablet" options in the tool options within PSP, I'm not getting any variability in opacity, width or colour.

Pressure sensitivity seemes to work in Photoshop, though, as lines will be thinker/ thinner depending on the pressure I put on the thing.

And though I'd not bought this product here, any help would be appreciated.

OH. And I use Win 98.

For anyone having the problem described in the above two posts, what seems to work for me is exiting the program and re-entering with a stylus double press. This happens for me with both PSP and PS. I figure it's the programs getting confused between the stylus and the mouse.

Finally got the drivers to work in windows XP. It appears the big problem is that XP tries to install the Jam Tablet under the human interface device section as just a generic device. You need to remove it from there, and make sure when you install the XP drivers, that it comes up under Mice and Other pointing devices as the KBGear Tabket. The driver should show up as coming from LCS Telegraphics.

Please note this device will NOT work in Corel PhotoPaint 9, even with the updates. However, you are probably better off using it in Image Forge 3, which is completely free and has tons and tons of options. The Jam Studio works so well in Image Forge 3 it is scary to think I bought this product for $19.95 at a local Big Lots store.

Image Forge 3 + Jam Studio = AWESOME!!!!

Slight correction:

Under Human Interface Devices in the Device Manager for XP. You should see one instance of the KB gear tablet as "USB Human Interface Device"

However, if you see another instance of it, or the other instance shows up as HID of some sort then remove it.


In other words...
You should only see one instance of any form of a 'Human Interface Device' in Windows XP under the Device Manager setting *Human Interface Devices"

Again, Image Forge 3 works just incredibly well with the Jam Studio Tablet, making it more than just a toy.

*If you have trouble getting it to work correctly in Image Forge you may need to set the brush as a "Solid" object instead of a "Hollow" one. Also, under the Sketchboard Stdio icon in Device Manager you may want to try setting it to Right Mouse Click.

Hello There, i Buy Yesterday a JEAM STUDIO tablet, i install the drivers, put the usb connector and... Nothing, i download the new drivers, of Tekgems, and install it and... nothing... again... an try in another pc and... nothing, again and again whit another 3 pcs with Xp, Me & 98 how i can know if the tablet is dead or if i need more drivers???

Is anywhere a offical site of KBGEAR??
I look the website of the manual and... Nothing again!

after all this i have a conclusion:
i was cheated by the company.

Any advice?

i have a question about the jamstudio too. it works well for me ( i run XP). i have altered the WINTAB.INI file as stated earlier to make the side button into a LEFT MOUSE click. however, when i change the wintab file to that, i also have to depress the button to be able to draw. is there any way to KEEP the side button as a left click but just use the pen like a NORMAL pen (ie pressing down on the pad makes it work, not pressing down doesn't -- NOT having to use the button to make the pen function)?

No matter what I do I cannot seem to get the drivers to load. I keep getting a 'Setup Failure: code e0000219' message. I would really love to try & use this tablet. I have tried everything & the drivers still will not load. Can anyone help?

The serial port tablets Crayola Kids PC Drawing Tablet, Disney Sketchboard Studio, kidDraw, Genius Kids Designer, Wacky Kids Pad, Pablo and Jam Studio Digital Graphic Tablet work flawlesly with Virtual Tablet Manager, that can be downloaded from http://www.vtablet.com

Crayola Kids PC, Disney Sketchboard, kidDraw, Genius Kids Designer, Wacky Kids Pad, Pablo and Jam Studio are OEM Summas, so in Virtual Tablet Manager select device type Genius-Kye(MM) or try SummaDraw, SummaPad Pressure, etc. One of them will work for your tablet model.

I just get the tablet from an outlet, and works fine, but after using it for some time (hours) I noticed that the stylus tip was worn significantly. Seems that isn't replaceable... How you managed to have this for long time? I beleve this will not last for many more days...

I run Windows ME and cannot find any drivers for my (USB) Pablo KB Gear (Jam Studio) tablet. The one I found asked me to write to a floppy disk (or else it cancels) but my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive (I have a zip and it wasn't accepting it). Any ideas would be helpful!

After switching my tablet from a computer running on Win98 to XP, I was a bit puzzled by a few things. This thread has answered every question I've had, and my tablet's running as smoothly as the day I bought it! Thanks!

I've got a Pablo graphics tablet from KidBoard, Inc., series KD-PC20, model PAB-PC15, FCC ID LTSPCMC-197, with both P/S 2 and serial connections running with a Win2k OS. I downloaded the vtablet software, and tried out most of the Genius and Summa devices, but can't seem to get it working correctly. If it does anything at all, it skips around the screen, clicking, right-clicking, dragging, etc completely at random, even when I hold the stylus steady. Any ideas?

jam studio tablet--Here is the answer about XP drivers. Go to ( http://tekgems.com/dl/index.php?dir=.%2Finput-devices ) and download {jamstudio-tablet-win95-98-me-2000-xp} .Then extract the files to a folder on your C drive.Then click on {KBJAM } and extract files to the same folder.Plug in your tablet.Now go to controll panel and click on system/hardware/device manager. look for HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES . Then click on update drivers and locate the folder where you extracted the windows xp drivers.After you installed the new drivers there will be a new jam icon in your control panel.I got my pen working with all the famous photo editing software.Photoshop,ulead photoimpact,corel draw,ect.It gets getting used to

This is continued from my last comment:Jam studio tablet for xp.In device manager look for HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES.There should be (USB HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES)click on update and update from the folder you extracted (jamstudio-tablet-win95-98-me-2000-xp.zip)This tablet works like a expensive wacom tablet.If you notice that the pen is jumpy and extremely sensitive and starts writing when the pen is not touching the tablet.That means you didn't install the drivers correctly.Just follow my directions.When the drivers are installed correctly you will truely enjoy using the pen and tablet.JAM STUDIO TABLET WORKS GREATjampen777

Can someone help me get mine working again? At first I was using mine on another pc which had Win98SE, no problems there....then I got a new PC with WinXP SP2. I couldnt get it to work, gave up for like half a year...a few days ago I deside to try again cause I found this fun site SketchSwap.com and I try different ways described on this site and all of sudden it works!!! But later I had to reinstall system onto a new harddrive and now I cant get it to work again. Im trying to get it to work so I can backup my whole system like it is only DVDs so I dont have to waste time installing it in 6 hours agian. Dont want to backup yet until I get this table working. Ive done the above but when I try to update HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES it doesnt find anything where I extraced the files from the drivers. Ive also done it the other way where you install the drivers then press no to restart...then connect the tablet reintall and then it should really work...but right now all it does is crash my pc when I put pen to tablet. How do I fix this? Please help me get it working agian. This looks long...

I think I figured it out for who ever is running XP. Im not 100% sure but after so many crashes then I do this and it freaking works so what else could it have been? I install the drivers while tablet connected then uninstall KBD from Add/Remove Programs. Then restart, and it should then work, thats how it worked for me. I tried every different way described on the site here and nothing was working, then I thought maybe KBD was part of the tablet and I uninstalled it and restarted...then boot up and it works!!!!
