Does anyone know how to disable that piece of shit updater in CS5.5?
I can't figure out how to edit my hosts files, because Windows 7 keeps denying me access, even though I'm logged in as admin..I also set notepad to admin, and that shit didn't work..

I have no idea tbh. Install PS Portable in the mean time until you get it fixed.

Ok so: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc is where your hosts file is.

Open it with notepad, then put in on a new line:

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com

This sets the adobe address to your loopback interface. So it thinks its contacting its server when actually its not.

If that doesn't work then you need an anti-virus or firewall which will allow you to deny photoshop from been able to go onto the interwebs.

That could work if the issue is editing the file just because of the directory it's under.
Try it.

Legit, and I took care of it.

replaced the amtlib.dll files. That worked like a charm.
