To edit the host file,
Go to start button by search, go to search and search for Notepad, right-click and select “Run as Administrator“. This should launch notepad with elevated privileges. Now, open the host file from the File menu, edit and save.

Hi calmat,

Yeah, that's not legal :(

If you need to use an Adobe product, why don't you download a trial? The CS5 trials are valid for 30 days.

hello tom

thanks that is a good idea, i can try before i buy

regards calmat

Hi calmat,

No problem :) Glad I could help. I don't know if you live in the UK, or qualify for a student discount (a student yourself, or be the parent of a student), but they have amazing deals on Adobe software, so I thought I might as well share the link with you:

Student discounts, deals & offers for premium software in UK

I picked up PS CS5 for £150 :)

No problem, it was my pleasure.
