The Gateway C140 Tablet PC is capable of pressure sensitivity. But if you’re an artist, you’ll soon discover that the pressure sensitivity is not enabled in Photoshop, Illustrator, ArtRage or Corel Painter. The fix for this is to install Wacom drivers and then hack the registry. Please do the following at your own risk. I got pressure sensitivity working on Vista Home on a Gateway C140XL by following the below.
- Create a System Restore point just in case.
- Temporarily disable Windows Defender or any Anti-Virus program you may have running.
- Download and install the the Wacom 5.05-7(RC) Vista drivers from the link below.

DO NOT REBOOT YET! - Next comes the Registry hacking. Please be careful here…
- 1. Click on Start, then Run, then enter RegEdit in the Open textbox and click OK. In Vista, click start and in the Search box, type ‘Regedit’.
2. Click KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SYSTEM then CurrentControlSet then Services then TabletServicePen then PARAMETERS.
3. In the right-hand window pane, right click, then click New and then DWORD.
4. In the new dialog that opened, type WTKernelBypass, then click somewhere else to let it fill in.
5. Close the Registry Editor.
6. Reboot, then run your program. Everything should work ok..
