So the perfect driver for your tablet is the driver released about the same time that you last updated your OS PC or Mac. In other words, if you have kept your Mac or PC updated to the absolute last OS update, then you should use the latest Wacom Driver. This the reason Why does Wacom or any other company update its drivers.

When installing a different Wacom driver, it is safest to first remove the existing tablet drivers. or Wacom suggests that before you install a new driver you should uninstall the present driver. After uninstalling, then you install the new driver. Below is the driver you need. Wacom Bamboo CTH-470 Driver Wacom Bamboo CTH-470 Driver Download List

Updating from an older (Wacom Bamboo CTH-470 Driver) to a Newer Wacom Driver

If you keep your Wacom Drivers up to date, then you should have a program called Wacom Desktop Center . You can find it in your apps. This program or utility notifies you when there is an update to your Wacom Driver. it does have a lot of useful functions. You can back up and restore your preferences, you can make changes to your preferences, you can get help and find tutorials.

But the most useful function is its ability to install an updated driver. It does this seamlessly and there is no need to uninstall the current driver first. Whether you are on a PC or a Mac, when you need to update your current driver to the latest driver, I suggest using the Wacom Desktop Center. If you are updating from an older driver and you do not have a Wacom Desktop Center, then use the manual methods above.
