Heeey! I have some tablet + SAI problems, and I was wondering if anyone could help. I just got a Wacom Intuos4 Medium to replace my broken Hanvon tablet, but Paint Tool SAI won't allow me to utilize pressure sensitivity anymore. I've looked for solutions and tried a bunch of stuff like opening SAI then plugging it in, installing the newest driver, 'removing all preferences', etc etc. Alas, none of them worked. All of SAI's and the tablet's settings are pressure friendly too, so it has nothing to do with that. Does anyone have another method? Thanks.. D:
EDIT: NVM FIX'D!

It didn't work with any program (including Photoshop) due to a driver issue.
Usually in a case like this, it's probably just because SAI is outdated and doesn't support newer Wacom tablets and the only reason the tablet works for just drawing is because it's picked up as a pointing device so any application will use it but anything that doesn't support it will not be able to use pressure sensitivity, but as I said, try clearing your preferences for the tablet in the Wacom Utility and then try it in SAI.
2. Do the buttons on the tablet work?
3. Try testing the pressure in another program like Photoshop or GIMP
4. Do the buttons on the pen work?
5. Does the mouse work?
If all the hardware is working correctly but the pressure still doesn't work in Photoshop or GIMP then you might have a faulty pen or tablet :/ I've had my Intuos4 for about a year and a half and i have never had this problem (on OS X or Windows XP/7
Gonna use photoshop then?
And yeah, I'm gonna try to get used to Photoshop as well since it's such a powerful program.
