I may have stumbled upon a solution.I was just fooling around with photoshop when suddenly my brushed tool stopped working.I just so happened to look down at my keyboard and noticed the caps lock button was on.I turned it off and my brush tool started working again.I hope this helps.

Just to clarify that, the annoying Caps Lock gotcha that I think every Photoshop® user falls foul of at least once, only affects the brush cursor (turning it into the cross hairs cursor) touching down and using the brush will still be fine.

I have the same problem as well, I have Photoshop elements 11. Ive tried mouse, trackpad, and wancom bamboo tablet, none seem to work. Ive also tried reinstalling, resetting all tools, everything.

If a tool is not performing the way you expect, try resetting that tool by right-clicking on its' icon in the Options bar,and choosing "Reset Tool" from the context menu.

Also check your foreground/background colors at the bottom of the Toolbox. They should be black/white. Press D to reset it if it isn't.
