I think my tablet is possessed. I have searched all over the internet and have yet to find a single answer to my problems...

When in Photoshop CS3, my graphic tablet will be working fine for a while. After a minute or so, the pointer starts lagging. In order to stop this, I have to hit Ctrl-alt-delete and then exit out of the task manager. The pointer is moving smoothly for another minute or two, and then it starts to go all choppy again. I've tried updating all my drivers and reinstalling photoshop, but no luck. :(

My tablet is made by an off-brand company called Manhattan, but I don't think there's a problem with the pen or the tablet itself, since the lagging is momentarily corrected by opening the task manager. Not to mention I swapped pens with my room mate and the same issues persist. Keep in mind that this only happens while working in Photoshop.

EDIT:

Also my tablet will randomly decide to lose pressure sensitivities and I have to restart my computer in order to get them back.

Hmm, I'm not too sure on this, but it may be because Photoshop doesn't like your tablet too much, due to it being an off brand company. I know that sounds stupid, but it might be the cause as to why it lags.
