Cedega 7 install issue "cedega Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.4-dbus"

Today i downloaded the .deb version of cedega from this URL http://www.cedega.com/downloads/

When i tried to install cedega i came across the following error:
cedega Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.4-dbus


After some search i found out that in ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) the package python2.4-dbus was renamed to python-dbus. So this leads to a broken dependency error. The solution i found is:

Open a terminal and navigate to the directory you downloaded the .deb file from cedega. Usally this is your home folder or Desktop folder.
Execute the following commands by the order they appear:
$ mkdir -p cedega_000133_all/DEBIAN
$ ar p cedega_000133_all.deb data.tar.gz | tar zx -C cedega_000133_all/
$ ar p cedega_000133_all.deb control.tar.gz | tar zx -C
$ cedega_000133_all/DEBIAN/
$ mv cedega_000133_all.deb cedega_000133_all.prerebuild.deb
$ perl -pi -e 's/python2.4-dbus/python-dbus/' cedega_000133_all/DEBIAN/control
$ dpkg-deb --build cedega_000133_all
$ rm -rf cedega_000133_all
$ sudo dpkg -i cedega_000133_all.deb
Make sure you have write permissions to this folder if it is outside your home directory. If you don't have sufficient write permissions the build command will produce an error.
Hope this helps.

Left 4 Dead crashes on Vista [Solved]

If you have played the game Left 4 Dead on windows Vista you may have noticed that on random times the game crashes with no obvious reason.
For this problem i hadn't found a valid solution for some time. The solution that worked for me is:

Step 1:
In the main menu screen of the game go to
Options -> Video
Click Advanced options and set the option multicore rendering to DISABLE
This solution did the trick for me. Before that i had tried all the options in Vistas compatibility mode but nothing worked.
