seeing your strokes as you draw with the brush tool

[noob]

Hey all,
I was wondering how you can see what your stroke looks like as your drawing. At the moment I see a red line that turns into the actual stroke after I stop.

Thanks for the help,
Rob

you should be able to see the stroke as you are drawing. Hmm... do you have an older computer or an older version of Photoshop?

Hi, I'm using a pentium 4 1.8ghz notebook, and Illustrator cs3.

Thanks,

Hmm... I don't know for sure but you may want to try shutting down all the other programs. My only guess is that your computer doesn't have enough memory to draw the stroke while you are drawing it.

I thought there might be a toggle box for it... maybe not.
Thanks though.
