[QUOTE="cableguynoe, post: 1039292, member: 151568"] Thanks guys. I'm happy to share my problem to see if I can get help. Tried in other forums and didn't get the answer i needed. BAsically, long story short, Parallels messed up my settings. Everything was defaulting to Parallels and not Mac. I've since uninstalled Paralles, but cant get the settings back. For example, when trying to install a program from a CD rom, the default program that's trying to open it is TextEdit (was windows, but now that Windows is gone it defaulted to TextEdit). I know I can click on "open with..." but i cannot figure what what it should be. The same thing applies when downloading something from the web. The right programs doesn't automatically try to open it, so everything is a PITA. Is there an easy way to reset all settings to default? Please help!!! Oh, by the way, iMac OS X 10.5.8 [/QUOTE]
