The DMC’s Audio Recording Studio already has the Wacom Intuos4 tablet driver and the freeware Paintbrush installed. (To install the tablet driver on your own computer, go to http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers, scroll down to “Latest Driver for Intuos,” and select the driver corresponding to your operating system. You can download Paintbrush at http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/downloads/. )

...

Getting Started: Once you have the driver, all you need to do is plug plugging the tablet into your computer’s USB port. A cable is included to connect the tablet’s mini-USB port (on the side opposite the buttons) to your computer.

...

Tools: If you’ve used Microsoft Paint, the tools in Paintbrush will be very familiar to you. All of the tools are compatible with the Wacom tablet.

The Brush tool will allow allows you to use the tablet’s pen just like a regular pen, paintbrush, or whiteboard marker. While it will take some practice getting used to writing and drawing on the tablet but looking at your computer screen, the tablet will help you sketch clear illustrations and write legibly.
Use the Stroke setting toward the bottom of the tool panel to change the thickness of the brush. Clicking with your mouse or tablet pen on the color swatches beneath the Stroke slider will allow you to change the color.

The Eraser works just like the brush tool and is good for erasing a specific part of your image.

To erase everything at once, select the Bomb tool and click anywhere on the canvas; the entire canvas will be recolored into the background color (the one that appears behind the color you’re working with on the tool panel).

You can also experiment with the other tools to draw lines, shapes, and more!
