Waco Intuos 2, er skipping?

1

I got a second hand wacom tablet for christmas. Ok, this is gonna be kinda hard to explain but I’ll give it a go. When I draw a line, sometimes the line will ‘skip’ There’s a short delay between when the stylus touches the tablet, and when the program actually draws the line. When the program starts drawing the line it jumps to where the stylus is at that moment, so the beginning of every line I draw is kinda random. I have this problem in both flash and photoshop, so it’sw definately something to do with the tablet. Is there a setting that I’ve configured wrongly, is this a design flaw, like something you just have to put up with, or is my tablet ****ed? Has anyone else had this problem?
