I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet. I installed Wacom drivers, and Wacom dock. Now I can use both the pen and touch, but there is no pressure sensivity when using the pen (I tried using it in Photoshop). Is there a tool to diagnose the pressure?

This believe this is normal. I have experienced the same in my unibody non-retina MBP.
I carefully studied the back cover for wear marks. Then I took a close look at the logic board without touching it.
- On the whole logic board you'll find tiny elastic sticks. They can be pushed a little. These sticks hold the aluminum bottom off the logic board.
- I did not take any chances, therefore I applied insulating tape on every place of the aluminum bottom that the sticks can contact. Also I did not want to open the cover multiple times :)
- Apply the tape again as it easily wears out.
Now the MBP does not make any of the previous mechanic noises anymore.?
This is what the back cover looked like when I was done.
Apple just released the Bootcamp 6 for Windows 10.
Check in this article if your Model qualifies and how to do it.

In the Wacom settings panel System Preferences - Wacom you can adjust the pressure sensitivity by clicking the pen in the Tool panel.
and test it by applying pressure anywhere in the tip feel box.For the Bamboo there is no sensitivity indicator.###The status bar will indicate the pressure.Page 42: Bamboo User Manual
In Photoshop (CS 4 and above) you have to set your brush sizing to pen pressure:
***Note:
The screenshots from above are for an Intuos 4 but they should be very similar for the Bamboo Pen.
If your not getting any sensitivity send an email to Wacom support. They are very helpful and responded quickly with instructions on how to fix a problem I was having with Illustrator crashes.
