Running Parallels Desktop 2.5 Build 3224 on iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB memory 667 MHz with Mac OSX Leopard Version 10.5.7. Memory settings are 604 MB and Hard Disk 8000 MB. Guest OS is Windows XP. Not exactly a newbie but a lot of the terms and instructions I read on this forum are 'way beyond me.
Been using QuickTax in Parallels for a few years now, no problems. 2008 QuickTax installed fine and used it to generate 4 returns, 2 of which were NetFiled. One day, opened QuickTax to complete my return but no window. The icon is on the task bar so Windows thinks it's open, but can't get the window to show. Fortunately, self employed and no need to file returns until June 30th but that honeymoon will soon be over. I installed the QuickTax software on another PC to get some info, everything worked fine there, so it's not the software.
Have been through the help system at QuickTax. Have tried reinstalling QuickTax here a number of times, no go. Also tried downloading a fresh copy of Build 3224 and reinstalled Parallels after first uninstalling from the computer. Nothing has changed.
The QuickTax software worked fine on another computer, Where do I go from here?
Other issues with Parallels. Very slow to load and close. Cannot have it running when using the Mac OS because nothing works very well on the Mac side. QuickBooks in Windows XP is just adequate, not running that well. I am reluctant to upgrade to version 4 because of horror stories I read on the forum, would there be any point in upgrading to version 3?
