Running Leapord on Mac and tried to install VirtualBox for Guest Windows XP.
Had difficulty trying to understand the manual when installing and I wanted to uninstall Virtual Box so that I could reinstall fresh.
The first problem was following the manual...I opened the .dmg and clicked on the uninstall tab and it brought up a Terminal program that asked if you
wanted to uninstall the program. I typed yes..and then it asked for a password.
Since I did not install a password in the initial installment there was no way I could figure how to get around the password as the program would not uninstall without a password.
I tried on the general post and the moderator suggested I post my problem here.
Can the program be removed by dropping the listed files directly into the trash without some remnants remaining in a registry...if MacOs has a registry like Windows.?
VirtualBox-3...12-OSX.dmg (disk image)
VirtualBox.app (application)
VirtualBox Volume
VirtualBox-Unintall.tool
VirtualBox.mpkg (Installer package).
Would appreciate any help.
