change your dns servers

My DNS servers are fine... but fixed the issue, got the answer from Adobe forum. Apparently there is a conflict between Adobe Update Manager and "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter" which comes with Windows 8. Had to disable the Virtual Adapter from Device Manager and it works now.

in my own way i was correct, that the traffic was being routed incorrectly. in this case, to the wrong adaptor instead of the wrong server.

I am having connection issue with Adobe Update Manager (CS5) on Windows 8. Giving me the following error:

"The update server is not responding. The server might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later".

It works fine on my laptop running Windows Vista and my other desktop running Windows 7. Even tried with Windows 8 firewall disabled, doesn't work and I am not running any anti-virus (except for Windows built-in Defender).

Works fine on mine.

Yes. just making sure man. What you said sometimes happens with pirated/bootleg software. If you are using a legit copy then I would say its your Wi-Fi. You can always download the updater manually from Adobe. They updated the updater a few months ago. I bet that's your issue.

They updated the updater a few months ago. I bet that's your issue.

After I disabled "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter", the updater worked and it downloaded around 650 MB. Meaning I am fully updated now.

Now to test what you said, I re-enabled "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter" and found out the problem persists. So either there was no update for the updater (didn't really follow what it was updating) or Adobe didn't fix the issue in the updater.

I too think its the Wi-Fi. And since I am not using the "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter" (whatever the heck it is), I will keep it disabled for now.

You can turn that back on. They wont be updating CS5 anymore. Just make sure the Acrobat updater is still working. That's all you need to worry about.

Installed Win8 at launch, won't look back.


Except...Win8 causes many issues when overclocking. MANY MANY MANY....OMG...not in running overclocks, but in testing. Once you are stable, no problems.

So, dual-boot for me it is, then. :p

I got a question. My Explorer GUI (not IE) sometimes quits and recovers when I switch between Metro and the Desktop. I can't get it to happen all the time but it does happen. I ran a system integrity check and everything came back ok. I suspect NVIDIA drivers but I'm not 100% sure. Everything comes back with the exception of the NVIDIA control panel. That's why I suspect it.


No issue with Acrobat updater :)

Then turn everything back on and enjoy!

10 Windows 8 tips, tricks and hacks

Amazing article. Many awesome things. For example this one:

Create a folder on the Desktop and rename it to:

Applications.{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}

The folder will be called Applications. Double-click it to see a list of all your applications, including Windows 8 Store apps, traditional Desktop applications and many system apps such as Control Panel. To run an app, double-click it. The folder doesn't show up on the Start screen. It's simple to put it there, though. Right-click it on the Desktop or in File Explorer and select "Pin to Start."

Microsoft has confirmed that Office 2013 owners cannot transfer their license to another PC once it has been installed.

In a departure from Microsoft's Office 2010 stance, those who purchase a license (for all versions) for the new Windows 8 productivity suite, will not be able to reinstall elsewhere, even if their PC is stolen.

Nice way to shove their office 365

Hey guys, having a few problems with windows 8. Actually have been having them since install but finally deciding to fix them. I am using windows 8 64bit pro. I am only here because googling has not helped this time. Any help is appreciated.

When the windows has to restart to finish the update, it never finishes and then ends up doing a loop of failing and reverting for a few restarts before it finally goes to the login screen.

My computer has been freezing from time to time. Usually when watching hulu but not exclusive to that.
