A little help?!
Ello my new interweb friends. I have a plea…

It would appear that Windows7 has an anti piracy bone on, so my cracked copy of CS4 won't install. I'm rubbish at this sort of thing, but essentially you need to copy some bits from a word doc and pop them in to a drivers/etc/host file. We (IT spods, I just watched) tried this but you can't save over, or 'save as' the file. Bollix.

So, I'm looking at going legit. I've seen Ps and Ai for £514 and £276 online respectively. Now this just seems like a fuck load of cash to spunk before crimble, so does anyone know of any outlets that offer them cheaper, or even a way around the host doc debacle?!

I appreciate this isn't a tech forum as such, and it's not much in the way of poops or even giggles but you're a nice bunch and I know a few of yers use Ps for comedy effects on these very pages. Well, the challenge pages.

Cheers in advance,

Monders.

Go into the registry editor and open up the security settings.
Then make clawhands at the screen whilst singing 'WE ARE THE LOBSTER PEOPLE'.

A handy guide here.

Permission to ruin the place, Clendrix?

Granted.
Get rid of all kittens, hugs, houses belonging to B69 and anything that's not based in filth.

As long as they are paedophiles. And ugly.

GIMP
Like I said, I'm pretty chod at most COMPUTOR things, and so I had an IT spod look at it. He said he's not done much with Windows 7, but I think he may have done that... not sure. I'll point him towards this thread tomorrow ha ha

Yeah heard of that. Looked at some online tuts for it, and it seems pretty much the same thing. Is there a freebie vector prog, like Illustrator?!

Thanks y'all, most helpful!

Windows 7 is new to them... Wow, I'm embarrassed for them.
