Installing Parallels

I have Leopard 10.5.1 and I installed Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac. When I launch the Parallels program, I get an error message "Parallels Desktop for Mac has unexpectedly quit". I repaired permissions but I still cannot get it to launch. Can anyone help?
 
I have had the exact same problem

I, too, have installed Parallels, and I get the same error message. I have repaired the isc permissions to no avail.

Any answer yet?
 
Hi,

I've just bought a copy of Parallels 3.0 for mac and i installed it succesfully. Then i got the same error messages as you. You said you downloaded build 5582.

Where can i find this?

The only one i could seem to find on this site, was a .dmg file for a 15 day trial?

Could i please have a link to the build 5582 file?

Thanks in advance,

Tara

I live in Australia so i bought it from an Australian retailer. How will i be able to determine whether it is us or uk?
 
Thanks so much!. I now have it running an am about to install windows xp pro.

Just a quick question though - can Parallels 3.0 run the sims 2? The retailer who sold it to me said that it could, yet i've read about that not being so?
 
Unfortunately The Sims 2 requires Direct X 9.0 to run properly. Parallels Desktop supports Direct X 8.1. But 3D support will be improved in future versions of Parallels Desktop for Mac.

Best regards,
Stacey
 
I found the build 5582 by Googling it, and I downloaded the 15-day trial version. I entered the serial number that came with the software instead of the temporary number, and it accepted it with no problems. I hope it doesn't expire in 15 days.
