Are you getting an error “Tablet driver not found” when trying to pull data from your Wacom tablet?

If the answer is “Yes”, keep your worries aside as the error can be fixed easily.

In this post, I have presented 6 easy to follow solutions that could fix the issue. Let’s get the ball rolling, then.

Solution 1 to tablet driver not found– Check Hardware

The first thing you need to do is check whether you have plugged in the tablet properly in the USB port.

If the tablet is plugged in properly but you are still getting “Tablet driver not found” error, try plugging the tablet in other USB port.

Though it sounds simple, many Windows users miss out the simple issue of the bad USB port. If this solution has not worked to resolve the issue, you can conclude there is no problem with hardware and you need to perform some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.
