VB and USB

[Georgetoon]

I installed GetViritualBox. It installed without a hitch.i moved my VDI file over and opened.  Runs great!:)  It detected all my USB devices! Great!

But all my USB devices are grayed out in the devices menu.  I updated my guest addons and even shut down and rebooted. til grayed out USB edvices.

Yes. I'm running WinXP. Moved it over and it booted right up.  But, I did not check the settings in the area you posted.  Will do so tonight.  Thanks for pointing this out.

Appears to have worked!:)  I now have USB!:)  really nice being able to plug in my mobile Passport HD and drag and drop files inside Virtual Windows. it also fond my printer and scanner. I didn't look for either software disks, though. i should get the printer properly installed. I may be needing it.but,it's such a pain looking for a disk!  When needing a windows driver, I forget how wonderful having synaptic is!
