    Hello Fio999,

    Unistallation/reinstalltion/ does not effect on Windows Virtual Machine.

    In case you have Parallels Desktop 3.0 please follow the article to uninstall Parallels Destop: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4790
    In case it is 4.0 you may use the same package as for installation.

    Someone else had the same problem 3-2-09

    Hi Galochka,

    Thank you for your prompt reply.

    I went to the link you provided and followed the instructions. I get the message "You do not have Parallels Desktop installed on your computer". But I *do* have Parallels installed on my computer.

    So I searched the forums and found out that on 3-2-09, someone named "Christopher Janney" had the exact same problem as me. His thread is labeled "Parallels Uninstaller not working- says Parallels is not installed", in case you want to look at it.

    Your last message to him was:
    Hello Christopher Janney,

    Can you please check you private message?

    I was wondering if you could send me the solution to the problem? I really need to get Parallels working again.

    Thank you so much!
