Is there a website one can go to that will give step by step instructions on how to install this software? I also have to option to install it in either 32 bit or 64 bit. Which is better? Here are my mac specs: macpro 15" intel core i7 processor 2.66 ghz, 8 gb ram, 500 gb HD @5200 rpm. I also own a pc desktop. |

It is actually fool-proof since they will guide you with everything when you start the installation, however, here are two articles that can help you: How to Use Parallels With a Mac | eHow.com How do I install Windows XP on my Mac with Parallels Desktop? :: Free Tech Support :: Ask Dave Taylor! I know that the Parallels versions in the articles are probably older than the one you have, but the procedure is almost, if not exactly, identical. Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to Mac-Forums. |

Also, Office 2007 is for Windows. Office 2008 is for Mac (and 2011 is due out in just a few weeks). Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics! |
