aha, mushroom unicorn creatures? >.>;; well.. whatever they are they're cute ;p
Your problem seems pretty strange... I don't really know all that much about tablets.. I got mine very recently... but... yea... I guess the next logical step would be to try using older drivers. I guess you could start with the driver on the CD it came with and see if you get the same problems. If you still do, I'd say it's a pretty fair indicator that it's not a problem with the driver... Although the fact that your problem is cross-program is what I'd logically have thought it to be :/
