I have a GA-7NNXP motherboard and the Aiptech Hyperpen 12000U (branded as an
Medion as sold by Aldi in the UK), and, wait for it I've seen the same as
you describe!

Fingers crossed this is going to help you, because the cure in my case was
relitively simple. Also plugged in to the same PC is forcefeedback joystick
that has some functions that appear in Windows XP as being HID (Human
Interface Devices). Well to cut a long story short, the joystick doesnt
like sharing the USB controller its plugged into with other HID devices.
Answer, try using the HyperPen on different USB connectors on your PC (the
motherboard has 2 USB controllers on the southbridge).

I hope that works, btw £30 for an A4 graphics tablet, what a bargain!
