    Can't get pressure sensitivity with Brushes in CS4(using  wacom tablet)

      This question is going to be long so I apologize in advance.  I am having problems with my brushes in Photoshop CS4.  Everything was fine till recently.   I use XP on a PC.  I am using a wacom tablet and the brush sensitivity is not working in Photoshop CS4.  When I go to the brush drop down or the brush palatte, the brushes are not pressure sensitive for opacity or size as they should be.  Yet I have pen pressure selected in shape dynamics & other dynamics.  I tried in CS3 which I also have installed and it works fine there and I can use the pen pressure.  I spoke with wacom and we updated the driver.  Adobe said to reinstall CS 4 which I did…and I still have the problem.  BTW, there is a gray exclamation mark next to the shape and other dynamics control drop down window.  No one seems to know exactly what this means.

      I assume it isn’t the wacom driver or hardware, as it works fine in CS3.  It makes sense to me that the problem is with CS4, but I still have it after reinstalling.

      Any ideas.  I have talked to wacom and adobe multiple times and can’t get this resolved.

       

      Thanks,
