I had two accountants on my Mac using my version of Quickbooks on two different occasions. Both were VERY interested in buying Macs before they arrived. After experiencing the apparent piece of garbage that is Quickbooks for the Mac, they swore off Apple computers big time.

I would be surprised that the accountants wanted to go Mac simply for the accounting software. The economics are not there. So swaring off Mac big time, is probably hurting them more than anyone else. The issue here is, don't expect software to run on different OS platforms in the same way. Most often, one platform is a port from the other. This inevitably causes some functionality loss or delayed time to market. On the Mac you can run PC virtualisation, which apparently was encountering problems to the DONSELF1. Has this issue been resolved because it is standard Parallels (or VMware fusion, or Bootcamp) functionality.

Did you explain that QuickBooks has nothing to do with Apple? Swearing off Macs because of QuickBooks is kind of like swearing off Ford because a Pirelli tire on the Ford went flat.

I've got a Core Duo 15" MacBookPro, running ||'s, winXP Pro. Had to do this for backup to Quickbooks on shop computer. So I'm not trying to run QB for Mac, which may or may not suck depending on your personal situation. QB 2007 Pro works fine under ||'s, although I miss a dedicated keypad. It's easy enough to delete a VM gone bad, as yours may have. But I'd do a re-install to make sure, then load QB Pro for Windows, and enjoy. i comment, therefore iferment |

Let me be honest be with you, thr is nothing better than Parallels but again if you know how to use it and now your problem.I am assuming that you have XP-license key etc. Open your parallels click settings in it remove that hardrive icon for that click on remove . Than click add and scroll options it will show you hardware you can install. Click>hardrive on it, than type the size in MB> CLick on then proced to OS you want to install Click XP express settings and follow the instructions like putting XP bootable disk , you would be able to get thru this. If you still face issues do let me know. |
