Here is my Chii... My pride and joy *sniffle* I used a manga cover for reference.

I drew her almost a year ago O_O. But still one of the best I've done. Colored Pencils ;p

And my tablet question...

I have a Wacom Graphire (One I think) that I bought off eBay. It has two connectors to the comp: A thing for the mouse and a thing to hook up to the Serial Port (I think.) The jack on the tablet is an STJ-A167 and you have to use a screwdriver to even TRY to put it into the computer. Now the problem is that I don't think this was meant for laptops. I can't get it to screw into the adapter I bought (for $38 >_<) because there's big chunks of metal on both sides that don't permit me to screw it in all the way. I think it would work if those weren't there but I don't know. I had to buy the adapter because both the jack and the port in my computer have female prongs (Omg. Lesbian serial ports! ;_; ) It's so frustrating cause I have a touch pad on my lappy and I want to be able to use my own computer and not the ones on my campus to color things! *growl* If you could help at all, I'd love you forever and maybe even draw you something. ;_;

I was supposed to get a Wacom Graphire3 but they sent me a Wacom Bluetooth instead. By the time I realized, it was too late to return it for a refund. D:

So I had to go out and buy a Bluetooth adapter for $60. It's been giving me some trouble but it's not like I can return it now. -_-;

Anyway... I don't know what point I was trying to make there.. ahem.

Have you checked the Wacom website for help? You could try emailing/messaging/whatever the Wacom support centre. I know absolutely nothing about laptops, so that's all the advice I can offer. sweatdrop

o_O hmm.. i have a hard time picturing this tablet you have. just beccause i don't think you need to connect the mouse to the computer...and i haven't heard of using screws and adapters to attach your tablet to the computer. is your tablet a new version or old? hmm...cause i think most tablets today is just a tablet that is connected to a usb cable which is connected to your usb port. the mouse should be wireless and respond to your tablet, as with your pen. i have a lappy as well, and it connects and responds just fine to it. i could see it very hard to use progrmas such as ps and painter with just a touch pad, so a mouse and your tablet which is even better would be handy. maybe you can post a pic of your tablet up, just so i can have an idea..and maybe have some clue on how to help 3nodding

It's really really old. I think the auction said it was from 2000. -_- I tried buying an adapter but it didn't fit. I'm going to take it to Radio Shack or something and ask someone there about it. It upsets me *sobs*
