[QUOTE="MelissaR, post: 987048, member: 140453"] I did it!!!! After another investment into m computer and several hours later, I now have a virtual windows machine within my mac. I now I feel like I have the best of both worlds. It was a little tricky restoring my Money Plus backups from 3 separate accounts. Also, as expected, my printer was not working from the Windows side. I took a chance & installed the disk that came with my printer; not sure if that was necessary, but the test page did print. I even downloaded AVG free anti-virus & installed that on the Windows side. Whew! One quick question (let me know if I should repost this as a new thread): When I'm not using windows I selected "Quit Parallels Desktop" It's still in my applications list, but not on the dock. Anyway, is Windows still running in the background? or, does it only load & run when I open Parallels & my virtual Windows computer? Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Mel [/QUOTE]
