There is a new controversary in the IPL 3 scenario. The Sashi Tharoor and Lalit Modi controversy has resulted in IT raids in Lalit Modi's house. Now, while the Income Tax officers were searching for it, they found Laila Mahmood in one of the CCTV cameras. Allegedly, Laila Mallya, the step daughter of Vijay Mallya was transporting some documents to safe place from Lalit Modi's office.

The police also found some of the secret documents on Laila Mahmood's laptop. This revelation has dragged Vijay Mallya and his daughter Laila Mallya into the Modi Tharoor Controversy. What started as just a small Tweet has been snowballing into something very very big. We tried to collect Laila Mahmood's pictures and got only the following Laila Mallya Pictures.

• Are you blessed with a Macintosh to experience the brighter side of computing but are still trying to forget your Windows XP box?

• Are you a Mac techie who wants to run some software which is released only to Windows XP systems and not yet entered the Mac world?

• Are you wanting to fascinate your friends with showing your skills by doing a dual boot?

Whatever your motive is, if you want to run a Windows XP system along with a Mac OS in a Macintosh computer, then the best possible option for you is Apple's Boot Camp.The Bootcamp lets you install Windows XP on a Macintosh system and do dual boot.

So if you want to install Windows XP on a Mac using bootcamp, then follow the below steps:

1. Download latest version of Mac OSX(currently 10.5.5) and the firmaware updates from the Apple Site .
2. Create a Macintosh drivers CD by running BootCamp Assistant.These drivers are very important.So check once again if the CD has been properly written.
3. Create a hard-disk partition so that Windows can be installed on it.Make sure the partition has a size ideally 10GB.This will provide sufficient storage for windows to install the OS and some required software.
4. Now insert your Windows XP setup CD and start the installation.When asked to select the hard disk partition select C drive.Format it using FAT.NTFS format is not readable by Mac and hence to access the Windows XP drive from Mac , you have to format as a FAT partition.
5. Wait for the XP installation to get on.Once the XP installation is complete, your system will be restarted by BootCamp in Windows XP automatically.
6. Now take the Macintosh Drivers CD created in step 2 and install the Mac drivers.The drivers are extremely essential for your hardware to function properly.

That is all you have to do to get Windows installed on your Mac.The next time you boot you will be booted by default into windows.To boot into Mac press ALT key while booting up.

I have recently experienced this bug of Google Chrome not playing You Tube videos.It just plays for the first two seconds and then stops.I first thought it's problem with Google Chrome.But when I tried it in my other browsers, I realised my Google Chrome,Firefox and even Flock don't play YouTube video.After doing some research I came to know that it's due to the incompatibility of newest version of Macromedia Flash Player.So as a temporary fix, follow the following procedure.

Problem:You Tube video plays for 2 seconds and stops in Firefox,Google Chrome and Flock.

Solution:

1. Download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller:
   
   • Windows: uninstall_flash_player.exe (181 KB) (updated 04/08/08) 
   • Mac OS X: uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg (1.3 MB) (updated 5/27/08)
   • Mac OS 8.x, 9.x: uninstall_flash_player.hqx (33 KB)
2. Save the file to your system (for example, your desktop). Macintosh users may need to open or unstuff the .hqx file.
   
3. Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, or other Messengers. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make certain no applications are still in memory which might possibly use Flash Player.
   
4. Run the uninstaller. This will remove Adobe Flash Player from all browsers on the system.
   
5. Now reboot your PC.
6. Download Macromedia Flash Player v.9.0.0.47 from here .
7. Install it and now start your browser to see YouTube Videos.
8. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

In the last post of the series, I provided you with some advanced tweaks for your system.The tweaks that I am going to present in this part are a bit easier than the previous ones. It's not compulsory for you to perform previous tweaks,to perform these.You can start right away with these.

Optimizing Startup Programs [msconfig]
**************************************

MsConfig is a hidden application in Windows XP which allows the user to fine tune the applications that are launched at startup. To disable some of the applications launched at startup perform the following steps.

1. Go to Start->Run and enter msconfig.exe and press Ok.
2. The MsConfig window opens.In this go to the Startup tab.
3. In the startup tab, un-tick the checkbox next to the startup items which you don't want to load at startup and keep the ones you want to load at startup as it is
4. While unchecking, keep in mind not to uncheck any entry of which you are not aware of.
5. After this, press Exit and restart.
   

The nice part of MsConfig is that it does not delete any of the settings.It simply disables them.So you can go back and restart a startup application if you find that you need it.

Bootvis Application
*******************

This program was designed by Microsoft to enable Windows XP to cold boot in 30 seconds, return from hibernation in 20 seconds, and return from standby in 10 seconds. Bootvis has two extremely useful features. First, it can be used to optimize the boot process on your computer automatically. Second, it can be used to analyze the boot process for specific subsystems that are having difficulty loading. The first process specifically targets the prefetching subsystem (discussed in the part I), as well as the layout of boot files on the disk. When both of these systems are optimized, it can result in a significant reduction in the time it takes for the computer to boot

To use the software to optimize your system startup, first start with a full analysis of a fresh boot. Start Bootvis, go to the Tools menu, and select next boot. Set the Trace Repetition Settings to 2 repetitions, Start at 1, and Reboot automatically. Then set the trace into motion. The system will fully reboot twice, and then reopen bootvis and open the second trace file (should have _2 in the name). Analyze the graphs and make any changes that you think are necessary (this is a great tool for determining which startup programs you want to kill using msconfig). Once you have made your optimizations go to the Trace menu, and select the Optimize System item. This will cause the system to reboot and will then make some changes to the file structure on the hard drive (this includes a defragmentation of boot files and a shifting of their location to the fastest portion of the hard disk, as well as some other optimizations). After this is done, once again run a Trace analysis as above, except change the starting number to 3. Once the system has rebooted both times, compare the charts from the second trace to the charts for the fourth trace to show you the time improvement of the system's boot up.
