Wacom Tablets beyond default configuration o.O

I recently purchased a Graphire 4x5 and am still trying to figure a few things out…I’ve noticed that it automatically configures with flash but I wanted to know if there is a way to configure it with other programs manually? I’ve heard that you can do this but I’m not sure…and if you can how? Maybe that’s only for the intuos and on series =/…Also is it bad to leave your wacom plugged in all the time so that the LED light is always on? Could it burn out or something?

Thanks
