Here are some instruction, (see the related link below) with pictures. Do it at own risk.
No. Only the Intuos line has this feature.
You never know
It is a capacitive touchpad. It does not include, and would not work with the wacom pen. The pen uses an active sensor, which is not included in the touch model tablet. If you want to touch and use pen, then you need to buy the "pen and touch" model.
You should contact Wacom support, they answered me quickly, but most likely yes. My experience is with a Bamboo pen on an older tablet, it works perfect. Wacom has a good backwards compatibility policy.
I have got the same problem. To fix it (I have found) you must uninstall the whole bamboo program and re-install. I got that problem about 6 months ago and after uninstalling and reinstalling it hasn't had a problem since.
It does require some installation, but it's a very simple process.
It depends on which bamboo tablet you want. The one I got, the bamboo pen and touch, came with PSE 7 for mac and PSE 8 for windows.
Did you tried to re-install your drivers? If so, and there's still a problem, go to Windows Startmenu -> programs -> Wacom Tablet. There is a utility to 'reset tablet preferences'. This deletes current settings and restarts the driver. It worked fine for me.
More Information on Issue: I bought a Wacom Bamboo Craft tablet and the first day it worked fine; I could use the pen whenever I wanted, although multi-touch didn't work. I, personally, don't care for multi-touch. I got my Bamboo to DRAW with! The day after I first got it and the day after that, only multi-touch would work. The tablet would sense that the pen was there (which I know because the white LED light turned orange as it does when the pen is near enough to the screen) but it won't let the pen do anything; when I hover or click with the pen, nothing happens. I want to draw with my tablet, and I'm looking for a quick, easy, and relatively simple way to fix this issue. How do I turn off multi-touch on my Wacom Bamboo Craft tablet?
Take it into the store you bought it from and they will do it for you.
type it into google, click on the "shopping" tab. Pen and spare bit cost 10. touch seem to start at 20. (August 2010)type it into Ebay and it depends if people are bidding...
