Help, Tablet pen always behaves as eraser?

Hello, all. I have run into an interesting little problem...I just got a new graphics tablet for christmas, and it's behaving very weirdly. I've got the driver installed, and it's positioned correctly, and when I choose the brush tool and use the mouse to draw, I get a perfectly working brush tool. When I use the pen to draw, however, even with the brush tool picked, the pen functions as the eraser tool. It's not one of those pens that has an eraser on the other side, so I have no idea what's up? Does anyone have any ideas to bring back brush functionality to the pen? Thanks all!!!
 
look for the fresh or compatible drivers from the official manufacturer page will be my first step.
windows update will be nice too.
 
I tried that and no luck so far. I have the newest drivers and the tablet works correctly in microsoft paint, so I feel like maybe there's just a setting somewhere that I'm missing.
 
Ok thanks, give me a few minutes to do some research on this tablet, I'm not familiar with it at all.
 
Next questions, PC or Mac? Did you install the Macro Key Manager?
 
Ok, here's what I could find. On that tablet, most problems stem from incorrect installations and can be easily resolved by uninstalling the Pen Pad and the MacroKey Manager.

1. Unplug your tablet and leave unplugged until the end of these instructions.
2. Do an uninstall of the Pen Pad and MacroKey Manager per the instructions, restart your computer. (this is important!)
3. Re-install the Pen Pad and the MacroKey Manager per instructions.
4. Restart your computer again! (this is important!!)
5. Plug in your Tablet after the restart.

See if this solves your issue.
