SMC Version: 1.14f5
Serial Number: W870322SW0J
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Windows XP SP2
I want to completely uninstall the Parallels 3 and the VM and Win XP and all Win software (ATX Tax, TurboTax, Family Tree Maker, QuickBooks, Quicken, Zillion Forms, and Kleinrock) and do a CLEAN install of Parallels 5 after I do the Mac upgrade to Snow Leopard. This Parallel 5 install will be a Win XP VM.
My current Win XP install is becoming unstable and triggering Kernel Panics thus I want a super clean install.
I have found how to delete the Parallels, etc., but limited guidance on deleting/removing all remnants of the Parallels 3 install and VM.
Is this the correct way to go?:
Uninstall all Win XP Applications (ATX Tax, TT, etc.)
Uninstall Win XP
Delete Parallel 3 VM
Uninstall Parallels Desktop 3
Then upgrade to Leopard/Snow Leopard, then begin the Parallels 5 install?
Anyone want to help a non-techno geek?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
