Thanks Tim and Neil and everyone else who replied. Unfortunately
there's little help on the Parallels Forum except for some VAG COM
info. Nobody on the forum ever really followed up with an answer to
that same error message I related in my previous post, and no one else
has posted with 'ETKA' in their post.

The link that Neil sent has some good info that I'm working through
now - the consensus seems to be to get every last file related to ETKA
off your system before you try a reinstall.

I also need to try an install in Boot Camp vs. Parallels.

I report back if I have any success.

BTW -- what was the last ETKA version before 7 and might that be a
better way to go?
