I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, deleted all previous tablet software off of my system and then installed the driver, restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled paint tool SAI, plugged in an ACTUAL mouse for it to read instead, checked the website for driver updates, removed the preference file utility thing, changed the pressure and density settings in SAI, unchecked the "right click" box, reinstalled and restarted some more, and none of it worked. I can't find a solution and I'm hopelessly confused and frustrated with the existence of this device. Help, anyone?

I have pictures:

For the love of buffalo chicken pizza, once I get this tablet up and running I will draw requests for anyone and everyone who helps me.

Tried the website drivers yet? A different USB port? A different cable?

Maybe the tablet is defective somehow?

I would think that, but it's completely functional on my boyfriend's computer. I think I'm just going to have to bring it in to the store where I bought it, along with my laptop, and see if there's anything they can do.
