: How do I zoom in Illustrator CS5 using Bamboo touch ring I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet with Adobe Illustrator CS5 and I want to use the touch ring to zoom in and out. I can't find the

If you've installed Wacom's driver, then you sould have a something like "Bamboo" or just "Tablet" panel in your Windows preferences (there may be appropriate shortcut somewhere in applications, but I'd use search bar in start menu). Browse a bit in the preferences panel and find "ring" settings. There should be a possibility to connect each rotation direction with specific action. There is a couple predefined actions. Among them should be "Keystroke". Choose this option and enter appropriate key sequence (e.g. Ctrl++). When you'll make "rotating" movement this sequence will be "emitted" as if you'd pressed the keys on keyboard. I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but there is a couple of different Bamboo models out there.

Do you use different Languages in CS and Windows?

I had a similar problem with my german keyboard setting and an english CS installation. When i switched the keyboard layout to english everything was perfect. (But it is a intros, no bamboo) Hope this helps ...

1) Did you install the actual driver software that came with the Bamboo? I know it's supposedly "Plug and Pray" for Windows 7 but I know for a fact that some of the functionality isn't there in Windows7 (or MAC os for that matter) unless you install their driver. I was able to use my Intuos 4 on the Win7 side (testing something out; usually run it on the Mac) and I couldn't get any of the control features to work unless I'd done that.

2) I'm not as familiar with the Bamboo series; is there a button in the center of the ring? On my Intuos that brings up a scroll menu that lets you select the function of the scroll ring.
