Leopard Upgrade and Parallels

Another problem I ran into is that Parallels v.3 network bridge mode stopped working. This is related to the fact that I did an upgrade and not a fresh install of the OS. Reinstalling parallels does not solve the problem. The following files need to me moved out of the way and a reboot done.

    /System/Library/Extensions/vmmain.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/hypervisor.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/helper.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/ConnectUSB.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/Pvsnet.kext
    ~/Library/Parallels/
    /Library/Parallels/
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.parallels

After the reboot a fresh install of parallels fixed the problem. Interestingly Fusion did not have the same problems.
