Start your computer in safe mode

Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs don't run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. For more information, see What is safe mode?

Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers as possible causes. If a recently installed program, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode and then remove the program that's causing the problem. For more information about troubleshooting problems in safe mode, see Diagnostic tools to use in safe mode.

HOW DO I INSTALL WINDOWS XP ON MY MAC WITH PARALLELS DESKTOP?

I read through your splendid tutorial on installing Windows XP with Apple's Boot Camp product (see boot camp help) but that's not for me. I don't want to have to reboot each time I want to try something out with a Windows app on my Mac. I've read about something called the Parallels Desktop and am hoping you can explain how to install it and how to use it so I can run Windows in parallel with Mac OS X? Thanks.
Master Answer:
I have to admit, I've been using Macs since the digital stone age and still get frustrated that I have to buy PCs so I can run Windows with any decent results. I've run Microsoft's Virtual PC, for example, but it's a dog and even when you have lots of patience it's pretty difficult to work within that environment even if you have the most powerful computer and least demanding application.
Further, I think that Apple's Boot Camp program is incredibly smart and have been dual booting Macs for quite a while, though usually into different flavors of Linux or related. I even had my tri-booting Mac laptop make it to the cover of a Linux magazine!
Still, though, the idea of running Windows -- or another OS -- within Mac OS X through what's called a "virtual machine" or "virtualization" solution, is too good to miss. That's why I was thrilled when Parallels released its Parallels Desktop, a full Windows-capable virtualization package for less than $80. Nice!

HOW DO I INSTALL WINDOWS XP ON MY MAC USING BOOT CAMP?

I'm thrilled to learn that I can now dual-boot my new Intel-based Mac so that I can live in the warm fuzzy world of Mac OS X or flip over to the business world of Windows XP. I have a shiny new copy of WinXP from my IT people, an Intel-based Mac Mini, and lots of enthusiasm, but that's about it. How the heck do I actually install Windows XP on my Mac so I can work in either operating system?

Master  Answer:
There's been a lot written about Apple's dramatic release of Boot Camp, a free download that lets you repartition your Intel-based Mac's drive and install Windows XP as an alternative operating system, but even the magazine coverage I've seen doesn't give you screen-by-screen details. So let's see what we can do about that!
Your first step is to make sure you have an Intel-based Mac: any G4 or G5 Mac will not install Boot Camp and you won't be able to dual boot into Windows XP. You can still run an emulator like Microsoft Virtual PC, but it's an inferior solution and my own experience with VPC has been that it's glacial and useless for all but the most simplistic of Windows applications. You'll also need to be able to burn a CD during the process: make sure you have a blank, burnable CD disk on hand.
Now, download Boot Camp from the Apple site and double click on the ".dmg" disk image that's dropped onto your desktop. Here's what you'll see:

How To Create a Facebook Page

How the Heck Do I Access Facebook Pages?! 

Find the Facebook "Ads and Pages" section

At first, it can be confusing to remember how to find Facebook Pages. Since Facebook changed its appearance once again in Feb. 2010 (sigh) and then again in December (double sigh) the Facebook Pages icon no longer appears by default on everyone's profile. In fact, you can no longer manually bookmark what appears on the "bookmarks" menu - they show up based on what you've used last. The Facebook Page icon should be a default icon on the left-hand side of your feed page (see screenshot on right) after you've created and used a Facebook Page. Click it, and you'll see the "Ads and Pages" icon.
