...such as my Graphire 4, dating back to the days of Win-XP, and it has been acting strangely lately as you try using it, I may have a fix for you. Try this:-
Re: Graphire4 drivers not working (Win 7)

The Graphire4 is not supported anymore in the latest driver. The driver may not be running at all or not open the configuration panel. - Unplug the tablet, uninstall the driver and restart Windows. Then go to device manager and remove any remaining Wacom entries there. Go to SYSTEM32 (and SYSWOW64 if you have it) and remove all files wintab*.*. Then attach the tablet again. Verify that it works as mouse and install tablet driver 5.25. If there is still a problem go to Start menu -> Programs -> Bamboo and use the preference file utility to remove the tablet settings. That restarts the driver and should help.
I didn't have to use this exact procedure, because I've just re-installed everything into this computer, after the BIOS disaster last week, but purging everything Wacom from your system and starting fresh seems to work. My own Graphire 4 is now working once again on Win-7 without showing any strange actions while being used.
But if you've been reading up on the newer models like the Intuos 5, then you know that these newer ones are now multi-touch enabled, and can be a lot more fun to use. And Wacom has always been fun to use - they're a great accessory for your computer. You can draw and write and edit photos right on screen. You should try it, if you haven't already. Here's their website.
