Each time I start up my MacBook Pro I have to reinstall parallel tools in order for coherence to work. I have Mac OS 10.10 and Windows 7 and Parallels Desktop 10. Anyone know what the issue is and how to resolve?

Thanks for the input but I"m a little confused. I don't see in your steps where/how to reinstall Parallels 10 after I completely remove it. Can you explain or revise the steps you gave to address that?
