There is a very easy solution.
From the GEM FAQ:
7.3) I don't want GEM to take over my tablet. How do I stop it?
Set the environment variable
GEM_NO_TABLET = 1

hey, all.
i just bought and installed a graphics tablet to my computer (usb). now i'm having trouble with pd/gem. the first time i used the program after installing the tablet, pd/gem tried to read to the tablet and thus caused the computer to slow down considerably--and crash. i tried to unplug the tablet, yet the program was still trying to read to it. even though it is no longer causing a slow down of the computer, whenever i try to open a <.pd> file, it simply just crash the system.
i'm on a win98. i'm thinking about adding on linux as a second os soon, but for now, what can i do to remedy this? i have not used the program since. and because i have already spent hard-earned money on the tablet, having it complete uninstalled and unused is simply a non-solution.
any help would be greatly appreciated.cheers,
