you can download all the programs you want directly from adobe.com; you just need a serial # for the master collection and it will activate all of them.

i don't know how to get one for a pc, but if you have a mac i can help you.

you also have to block the adobe hosts so they don't "call home"; i can give you instructions for everything if you want.

just download all the apps first, they take a while to download.

okay, in that case i can help you out.

first download everything you want from here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ (just sign up with some bs email address, & then you can download whatever you want by clicking "try").

then, once you've downloaded everything, this is what you're gonna need to do:
(first PM me for a serial #)

1. BLOCK THE ADOBE HOSTS (see instructions below)
2. disconnect from the internet
3. install everything, & choose the option to run as a trial/enter a serial later.
4. once everything is installed, run Photoshop & enter the serial # i give you. then all the cs4 apps should work perfectly.


_________________________

This is how you block the adobe hosts:

You can use terminal to give TextEdit root access to the hosts file. Open a terminal window and enter the following:

sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts

Hit return and enter your admin password when prompted and again hit return.
Your Hosts file should automatically open in TextEdit.
Add the following to the open Hosts file:

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 192.168.112.2o7.net


The entries should ideally be made between the existing broadcasthost and ::1localhost entries.
Save the file and quit TextEdit.
Now, If using Leopard, you should use Terminal again to flush your cache:

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

You can also do the same in Tiger with the following Terminal command:

lookupd -flushcache

you should really try,itll make ur comp run way faster,and boot up fast as shit.i currently have 3 icons on my desktop

I believe that's an old wives' tale. The icons may add a few seconds to boot up times but it doesn't effect performance.

What will effect performance and stability is the shit that automatically loads up. I've got most non-system services set to manual (especially the itunes bullshit), pretty much Daemon Tools is the only non-critical program that I've got running at startup.
