How to make RoadRash run smoothly on Windows 7

As the title itself indicated I am talking about the famous game of my childhood "RoadRash".
Did you tried to install the game on windows 7 ?
Oh if yes then I must not wonder, installing is quite easy.
But the real problem is when you start the game you will not be able to see the things clearly as the configurations is likely in 16 colors and unclear.
You can clearly see Its me at 15 th Rank and Player name "Aditya". I just took a screenshot.

So now what is the solution ?

After finding a little I got a solution.
Follow the steps given below

1.Open task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
2. Go to process tab.
3.Find process named "Explorer.exe"
4.End this process (Your desktop will disappear, Don't worry you can get it back once you finish the game).
5.Now go to file menu of task manager click on New task(Run).
6.Type desktop press Enter. My computer window with root directory as desktop will open up.
7.Locate your Roadrash installed file. Double click it (Start it).

That's it Enjoy your old game and lighten your childhood memories.

When you finish your game you need to start explorer.exe which you killed earlier.
1.Open task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
2.Now go to file menu of task manager click on New task(Run).
3.Type explorer and press Enter.

Your desktop will reappear.

Hope this trick works well.

Two free Airlines Tickets? Be aware!!!!


If some one is being given something for free, anyone will want air tickets to any destination in the United States?
Yes!!
This is the way they do it in a specific unauthentic way.
The messages spreading across Facebook is like  "Southwest Airlines is offering free tickets in a marketing promotion."
Sounds good ??? doesn't it? So can you imagine? what happens if you click on the link?
The webpage you are redirected, tells you that to be eligible, you have to share the link with your Facebook friends, adding the words
"Southwest is the best Airline"
as a comment.
In an online investigation the investigators used an research account on FB and shared the link without the comment as described above
Hmm.....so what happens now?
Seems like it doesn't make any difference even if we break the rules?
Doesn't it was easy?
Well hats off to the investigators!!

Be aware be alert is the only key if you want to keep yourself out of it.
