    Disturbance and Sharp edges when using brush tool.

      Following are the specs:

       

      Photoshop Version     : CS5 Trial, CS4 extended

      OS                            : Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.

      RAM                         : 4 GB DDR3 (3 GB Usable)

      Video Card                : XFX GeForce GT 240 1GB DDR5

      Free Disk Space        : 14 GB Free in C:/ Drive (Primary storage drive for cache levels)

      Monitor                     : Samsung Myst Eco 20 inch widescreen LCD.

       

      Well there is no error in my photoshop except when i use the brush tool the brushing looks like its full of dust speckles. Like i am using scatter. When i zoom in it looks weirder. I thought it will be my monitor (i raised a discussion about calibaration of my monitor 3 or 4 months ago when i bought it), but when i export it as .png or .jpeg the image looks perfect i.e. without any scatter. While in Photoshop it looks like i am brushing using some kind of amoeba. I reinstalled cs4 countless times but to no avail. Checked all my brush settings, everything's normal. I downloaded CS5 Trial and checked in it and the photoshop has the same problem. Here are the Print Screen and Exported JPEG's from both CS4 and CS5. And i just wanted to point out that the brush tool works in all other software's so here is Corel Painter PRT SCR too.: What can be causing such weird reactions? I tried enabling/disabling OpenGL rendering, changed cache directories, reduced history/increased history. I messed with everything the performance tab has to offer in preferences, but to no avail. Please Help me, i need to paint lots of thing and with brushes looking like this, it doesnt help at all.
