Hello.
I'm running Mac OSX Snow Leopard with Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium in VMware Fusion 3.1.1

I'm having trouble with my tablet properly staying connected to my Win7 VM. It's a Wacom Intuos 3 and I'm trying to use it in Paint Tool SAi. I find that every seven minutes or so any movement with the pen starts to freeze up and then eventually disconnects from Win7 and reverts back to being functional on my Mac. Sometimes if the timing's right, during the stutter, my undo hotkey function on my tablet will appear to be held down and undo a good chunk of progress I've made.

Is there something I can do to prevent this or is this unfortunately to be expected under a VM?

Some other notes of possible value...
My tablet is hooked up to my cooling pad with an AC adaptor but I don't think that should be the culprit because I've never had this problem using my tablet on a Mac-native copy of Photoshop even though the pad. :\
