Tablet: Genius MousePen 8x6 System: Windows 7 64-bit

The question says it all. When I first boot up my machine, the tablet works fine, with pressure sensitivity functionality. However, if I leave the machine long enough for the screensaver to start up, when I return, the tablet works just like a mouse, and does not respond to changes in pen pressure.

Unplugging and replugging the device does not fix the problem. Disabling and enabling the device in device manager does not fix the problem.

When I try to use the tablet config tool -before- screensaver, the pressure config works fine. It gives you a little area where you can draw to test out the pressure.

When I try to use the same tool -after- screensaver, the moment I click on that drawing area, the config tool freezes.
