I installed one of these for an artist friend in September; she has not
experienced the problems you describe.
Do you have a serial mouse, and a modem? Normally, COM1 and COM3 share an
IRQ, and COM2 and COM4 do. But neither a mouse nor the tablet can share an
IRQ with another device....
In my friend's case, we avoided that problem by using a PS/2 mouse ($8.95
at my local surplus outlet) instead of a serial mouse. [On my partner's
tablet-equipped system, the PnP modem allowed itself to be set to IRQ 12, so
that's another way to avoid the problem.]
