I scanned previous threads, but didn't see my precise problem: Once booted, Parallels 9 completely dominates my MAC Pro (OS X 10.7.5), slowing it down horribly - it takes forever to use any program. I never had this problem with the older Parallels version. I followed the Uninstall steps of putting the file into the trash, emptying the trash and restarting the computer. However, when I download Parallels again and install it, other programs - such as PSP, Word, etc - are still there, which they shouldn't be. Windows also shouldn't be there, but it is. How do I COMPLETELY uninstall Parallels and start again from scratch? Any help from the community will be appreciated
