I followed the instructions to uninstall parallels 4 on this page: http://kb.parallels.com/5714 Now when I rebooted, I get an error message: How do I clean up the launchd process so it doesn't try to do this startup? There is still a folder named ParallelsDesktopTransporter in /Library/StartupItems. I expect I should remove it also, but I am hoping to learn more first. Thanks, Beth
