Hey guys I have a problem that just started. On Rapidshare, I've download a lot of files such as .rar files on my mac and everything has worked fine. Up until today, I downloaded a few and they are windows files because they have the parallels symbol (Yes I have parallels) but my parallels isn't running. So i went back and tried to download old files that I had previously been opened with Mac OSX and they too are opening as parallel files. I dont understand why all the files want me to download the windows version. The only thing that I changed was i finally upgraded my MacPar Deluxe because there was a new version but that's the only thing. So can someone please help me fix this problem. I dont want to download windows files while on my mac.

Just to clarify, the RAR files have changed to Parallels Files? If so, Get info on the Parallels files (Select File -> File Menu -> Get Info) and select them to open with a RAR program designed to run in OS X. Sorry if I don't understand correctly.
