Disabling Protected Mode in Flash 11.3

You can disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [44]

(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line ProtectedMode=0 and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [45] [46] [47]

Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the ProtectedMode=0 line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode. [48] [49]

If you try to save this and it doesnt allow it.. change the permissions on the mms.cfg file to allow you to have full access to it.

Macbook new disk and unable to resize partition to take advantage of new space

I ran into a problem with a macbook after cloning a hard drive and the partition would not resize to take advantage of new space.The following blog helped me solve the issue.

Thanks to:

http://blog.kyodium.net/2010/11/increase-disk-and-partition-size-in.html?showComment=1376667624476

This is because the GUID partition table (GPT) is built for the size of the drive it's created on. And that's a pretty logical assumption... until you consider RAID, or virtual disks.

All we need to do is remove the GPT and rebuild it. We're not deleting the actual partition, so as long as you remember the start and size information for the partition you should be able to back-track if things get messy. I have been successful with this technique, but as always when dealing with important data - try to back up before you proceed!

Boot from your Leopard DVD

Open Utilities - Terminal...

Find the disk you want to expand (mine was /dev/disk1s1, we'll use this as an example from now on):
df

Unmount the disk
umount /dev/disk1s1

Display GPT info for the disk:
gpt show /dev/disk1
NOTE: we remove the slice number from the name (disk1s1 becomes disk1)

Note down the numbers for start and size for your partition.

Unmount the disk again.
umount /dev/disk1s1

Remove the GPT:
gpt destroy /dev/disk1

Create a new (empty) GPT:
gpt create -f /dev/disk1

Add a new entry for our disk to the GPT:
gpt add -b -s /dev/disk1

so in my case the command would be:
gpt add -b 409640 -s 41009112 /dev/disk1

Reboot. Now you can use Disk Utility to resize your partition without errors.
