Wintab service not available?

I’ve searched the older threads about this problem, but they don’t help my unique problem. I got a monoprice tablet, I get the message “Wintab service not available” if I start up zbrush w/o the tablet plugged in. I’ve uninstalled the drivers for the tablet and still get the message. If I plug in the tablet zbrush starts fine. Did this tablet somehow integrate itself into zbrush? I want to uninstall it, but apparently now zbrush will not work w/o it. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Running win 7 64bit but it done the samething when I was running XP.

Just do not know why. My tablet stopped working (being recognized by Win7 I mean) all of a sudden. I found the answer in one forum: Go to the “Tablet Preference File Utility”, save your preferences in a backup file. Then DELETE ALL USER PREFERENCES. The tablet will come back to life like magic. I have not tried the very last driver though. I think it is version 6.15. However I read somewhere else that driver 6.14 does have issues with Win7 64 bits.

Good luck
PS: Although I saved my preferences in a back up file, when I restored them later they just disappeared. Just be warned about it. I would have written them down or taken screenshots if I knew this was going to happen.
