Apire R& N-Trig pressure not working in certain programs

Question

As of this afternoon I'm a proud owner of an Acer R7 laptop/tablet. Wonderfull screen (15" 1080HD IPS), wonderfull layout and at first sight a remarkable machine. And it comes with a NTrig digitizer! So one can use the screen as a drawingboard.

Nothing new here for me  since I own tablets since 2004. But they had Wacom hardware and Ntrig is the new kid on the block, now even used in the MS Surface3 Pro. This R7 is meant to replace my ailing Toshiba M700. I can send it back without any problem within one week.

Anxious I loaded Xara Designer Pro. And it doesn't work like it should! The pressure sensitivity isn't picked up at all!

Bummer...

Pressure is being registered in Journal but Xara shows no signs that it sees the pressure delivered by the pen.

Then I tried to install the WinTab drivers for N-Trig. but alas, still no sign...

Ha s anyone overhere an idea?

Have you installed the latest wintab drivers from Ntrig. You can find them on their site below.

Depending on the application you need pressure for, you may have to install the 32 bit version or the 64 bit, or both.

The software you are running must also support N-Trig active stylus technology. Have you checked with Xara Designer Pro to make sure it is supported in this software?
