Illustrator CS3 and creating pressure sensitive brushes

I was working on this and had the ability to create pressure sensitive brush then I went to photoshop and played with that.

When I came back to Illi the pressure was greyed out, not sure if it's a coincidence. The brush I made previously in Illi still has the pressure and I can use it but can't make a new brush. On my other computer it's not an issue.

So 2 questions: how can I get back the option of pressure and can I get to the brushes I make on one computer and use it on another?

thank you

Illustrator CS3 is not fully compatible with El Capitan and as far as I know the Intuos 3 might cause issues as well (it did for some people and you might not be able to use the latest Wacom driver).

You have just reached some limit of what is possible with this combination of system, old hardware and old applications.

like I explained I created a brush on the same system a few minutes before, so this doesn't make sense to me.

is there a way to get a brush from one computer to another?

That might happen when stuff is not fully compatible: you get errors that can't be explained.

Launching Photoshop in-between might mess things.

You can just save the brush in the brushes panel and then save the file and copy the file to the other computer.
