[QUOTE="ivey, post: 1529711, member: 308182"] Thanks for the replies. I want to make it very clear that even without the parallels software this computer was a great buy and is exceeding all of my expectations. The Mac OS works fine as does all the other programs. Buying a computer second hand (if you do your research) is no less risky than buying a used car. Anyways, I figured it out. Apparently when you use an OS from Bootcamp in Parallels you always have to reactivate it. There are more ways to do this than through the product code. There's an automated number you can call that verifies your software is genuine through an extremely lengthy pair of codes. I called the number and now Windows 7 works fine. I don't understand bootcamp but don't really care to. I have the windows OS running coherence and it's quite seamless. As for Windows 8 I just reinstalled it and now it works fine. I have all the original boxes, keys, and disks for all of the software on this computer. [/QUOTE]
