32 bit apps will not work on Catalina. Catalina essentially ignores any 32 bit
app if you leave them installed before upgrading.
Easiest way to check for 32 bit apps installed is to run an app called “32bit
Check” by Howard Oakley and is available to download from his website
Office programs, but I just thought I’d relay my
experience.

Hi Pat
Some suggestions:
1. Ensure you have the latest Catalina version (macOS 10.15.4) installed.
What was your previous OS? Did it update from Mojave or Sierra or ---?
2. Are you using USB or Bluetooth for the Wacom tablet? There may be a common

Hi, Alan,
It’s not just disliking Catalina; it is interfering with what I am trying to
do. I use a Wacom tablet and stylus. Just moving the stylus around causes the
interface to switch to another, random location, or go totally blank. And, I
have 2 small Western Digital external disks
needed, and
realised I never used most of them anyway when they died with Catalina.
I know I’m an early adopter and enthusiastically embrace the next big new
thing. Then troubleshoot my way around whatever that rash decision has
presented.
I know that’s not for everyone

If you have a Brother printer and use the Brother Control Centre,..then
definitely be aware upgrading to Catalina. As this software no longer works,
and Brother haven’t released an update. So you rely on their Brother iPrint

However they still appear in Smart Folders.

But if you are moving away from Reunion, make sure you export a GEDCOM file
before installing macOS Catalina.
And maybe any other export formats offered.
