First, buy a book on Mac OS X, then look at whether your question is complete enough to even give an answer without people having to write a book. You don't mention if you use Boot Camp along with Fusion, or read the Fusion FAQ and tutorial (they have that, you know, on their site). Most programs have uninstallers; help menu and help files, pdf guides, just for starters. Do what you did to install Windows, only in reverse. And...

Published (2009-11-07 18:05:00)
I prefer Parallels. I have 8 VMs that I use on a regular basis. It has never crashed on me. The biggest difficulty I've ever had in Parallels is that I had to manually install Parallels Tools on my unsupported VectorLinux distribution. I also own VMWare. It had some stability problems early on but those seem to have been cleared up. I will admit that one of the primary reasons I prefer Parallels has been a barrage of outrageously...

No, they sent me the full retail version (no "upgrade" on the box). From photos online and at Microsoft's site, the upgrade box has the word "Upgrade" at the top of the box. According to some online posts, the discs are no different. The only difference then would be the product key. The full retail version would not ask for you to enter a product key from your prior version of Windows. I believe the upgrade version...

Okay, I solved the problem. Turns out I was installing the wrong driver from the Realtek website. The correct driver for VB in my installation is for the AC'97 audio controller. It is located at: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#AC I have sound now!

Do you need 64-bit? probably not. I don't know what a 4,1 MacBook is, as far as model/yr. I do know that booting from 64-bit Windows depends on having an EFI64 (Unified EFI 2.x) to be successful without alteration. Windows 7 comes with 32/64-bit media. And System Builder Home Premium is $99 (but that comes in only 32 or 64-bit, not both)....

Not sure... so have you tried the Kaspersky forum? or won't they touch it because it is more like OEM product and they expect Parallels to provide full support? The problem sounds like Vista primarily and maybe Windows Vista is confused by Paralllels.

compliance checking ... In Windows Vista, Setup did the compliance check (to see whether you have a valid prior version of Windows and thus qualify for the Upgrade version) after the phase where you can format the disk. This means you could actually format the disk, thus destroying your previous install, and then fail the compliance check. Microsoft fixed this in Windows 7. ...
