Pen Pressure in Live Messenger

Hi.
I use Windows Live messenger for quite awhile now and I use the pen tool for
handwriting things like drawings and such. However, my friend in which I talk
to frequently also uses this pen tool and has the ability of Pen Pressure
(differences in size and width of pen, whereas my lines are always uniform)
to create marvelous and awesome drawings with pen pressure.
How can I get the pen pressure on my Live Messenger?
P.S. I use a Pen Tablet Wacom Intuos 3.

Re: Pen Pressure in Live Messenger

Greetings,

As far as I know, Messenger doesn't do this automatically. But regardless, you can change
your width, size, etc. by using the buttons located at the bottom of the conversation window.
I've provided a screenshot of what I'm talking about here:

Re: Pen Pressure in Live Messenger


I have the same problem.. and I've tried the different pen sizes and the
results are the same.

I have xp, service pack 3, and cintiq drivers of sept 28- 09.


but my vista laptop with my intuos automatically is able to do pressure
sensitivity.
