I am using the Kurta IS/ONE with AutoCAD LT. When I tried to calibrate the
tablet today it said "Your pointing device cannot be used as a tablet" I
did not change any settings and it worked fine yesterday. I reinstalled it
but it
still did not work. I can move the crosshairs and even draw
lines, circles, ect., but I cannot use the TABLET command. Any suggestions?

It is set to "Digitizer input from tablet or mouse". When I set it to
"digitizer input from calibrated table only" the crosshairs will not even
move. Either way I am still getting that same error when I try to calibrate
the tablet.

I have called Kurta and they say it is an AutoCAD problem.

Daryn,
Is the wintab driver installed and configured properly in windows?.
As a rule, if the digitizer works in windows it will work in LT.
