If for some reason you rely on xkey website for information, its awful the support is non existent, therefore you have to find the files yourself on the wayback machine.

Xkey Piano:

Xkey Plus for Windows

Also if for some reason you’re scrolling infinitely through forums looking for the answer to “Red led is blinking when connected to usb xkey keyboard”, the reason is that the micro usb port is malfunctioning, either due to a bad cable o bad connection or bad unit. Those are the only answers, there’s no reset button and the latest firmware version is 2.4

Wacom Service Automatic Restart Tool

So you’ve been having issues with your wacom tablet (Intuos, Cintiq, Grapphire) 😛 and it stops being pressure sensitive or it just stops displaying the cursor altogether.

Then the only solution is to open Services.msc and stop/start the wacom service manually?

I made a tool that does it automatically for you, just create a new text file, copy the following code and save it as a .bat file, Example. Wacom_restart_service.bat

@echo off
set /p c= Quieres Reiniciar el Servicio Wacom [Y/N]?
  if /I "%c%" EQU "Y" goto :4
  if /I "%c%" EQU "N" goto :2
    :1  
    set /p var= Service name: 
:2 
set /p c= Quieres Iniciar el Servicio Wacom[Y/N]?
  if /I "%c%" EQU "Y" goto :5
  if /I "%c%" EQU "N" goto :6
:4
sc stop WTabletServicePro
:5
sc start WTabletServicePro
echo Reiniciado por cocoalopez.com
pause

After you run it, it will display a question prompt, just press Y and it will stop and restart the service automatically for you.

After it’s done, it will display this info

You’re all set.

Remember to run it as administrator in case it says you have no permission and if you cant use any mouse to do so, use the right click shortcut SHIFT+F10 on the .bat and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Edit 2022. If you want the code without the prompts, just paste this code on a BAT file.


@echo off
echo Reiniciando WTabletServicePro...
sc stop WTabletServicePro
sc start WTabletServicePro
echo Reiniciado por cocoalopez.com
pause
