Parallels Desktop 3.0 can't be used?

[Tyler Gostynski]

i have Max OS X 10.6.2 and i downloaded Parallels desktop 3.0 and when i try to open the application it says.

"You can;t use this version of the application Parallels Desktop with this version of Mac OS X

You have Parallels Desktop 3.0."

is there a way i can get this to work without buying the new version..

Parallels 3 does not work and is not supported by Parallels in Snow Leopard.

Desktop 4 and 5 will both run in S.L.

If you're not willing to pay to upgrade or for VMWare, you can try migrating your VM to VirtualBox - link.
