Finally have DazStudio 4.5 properly running on my MacMini

After a few days of fustration, I finally made a bold move by reinstalling Windows 8 Pro from scratch, and found that DazStudio 4.5 finally running properly with folder setting properly shows up. 

(I am still totally puzzled about how in the world this problem will even happen in the first place ... oh well, what the heck)

So here's the sequence how I did installed stuff, in case I need to replicate:

- Install Windows 8 Pro
- Install all Windows update
- Install Bootcamp 4.0 (mainly for installing proper hardware driver)
- Install DazStudio 4.5
- Turn on .Net Framework 3.5.1 on "Turn on/off Windows feature"
- Install SyncToy 2.x
- Set up SyncToy sync folder to sync between "\\192.168.2.10\z\_ Frequently Install Software\Ultimate Poser Vault\content" and "C:\ProgramData\DAZ 3D\My DAZ Library"  (for syncing my 19Gb+ Daz content)
-  Set up SyncToy sync folder to sync between "C:\Users\d****\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio" and "\\192.168.2.10\z\_ To Save\My Daz Studio Setting"

The last step is pretty important to make sure that content I manipulated on one device (M6600) shows up properly on another device (my MacMini).  Otherweise you will get the "Missing Files" error message.  But then I gotta give credit to Daz Studio 4.5.  At least in this version, missing file message seems much less cryptic.

So now I need to remind myself to sync these setting everytime I finished doing a scene on one machine.

MacMini (late 2009) doesn't like thumb drive bootup ...

After tried and tried and tried, I have to admit the fact that MacMini (last 2009) can't boot up with thumb drive.  This dramatically limited the possibility of fixing the machine in tough situations.  This seriously affect my decision of choosing what machine to buy next time, mainly, it will not be another MacMini.
