Pressure sensitivity issue in Adobe Photoshop CS5 with my Wacom Intuos 3 tablet

Yesterday I started having a pressure sensitivity issue in Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 and 32 bit) with my Wacom Intuos 3 tablet (see link for more info). Another Wacom tablet on my computer had the same issue while my tablet was working ok on another computer. So it turned out to be a Wacom acknowledged problem with the current Wacom driver pro616-7_int.exe that I had been using for months! No idea why the trouble suddenly started only that Wacom knows about this problem since at least January and hasn't released a new version ... well it's only with the "old" tablets ... pro615-3a_int.exe seems to be working now.
