SYMPTOMS
========

After you install the Wacom Tablet and driver for Windows NT 4.0, the following
system events are logged in the Event Viewer when you start your computer:

- Event ID: 22
  Source: Serial
  A conflict has been detected between two drivers which claimed two overlapping
  IO port regions. Driver Serial, with device
  <\Device\Serial0.Translated>, claimed an IO port range with starting
  address in data address 0x28 and 0x2c, and length in data address 0x30.

- Event ID: 22
  Source: Serial
  A conflict has been detected between two drivers which claimed two overlapping
  IO port regions. Driver Wacom, with device
  <\Device\PenPort0.Translated>, claimed an IO port range with starting
  address in data address 0x28 and 0x2c, and length in data address 0x30.

- Event ID: 11

  The hardware resources for COMx are already in use by another device.

NOTE: You may want to configure Event Viewer to "Overwrite events as needed" in
the Log Settings to avoid clearing your events repeatedly.
