Virtual Box 3.2.8
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS host
Windows XP Pro Guest.
I am not running the OSE edition.
I have added various USB devices via the filter, they appear in the little virtual box usb icon when the guest is running, but I cannot click on them, I don't get a highlighted bar or any way of actually 'ticking' the item.
this is the same as well if I click on 'devices' then 'usb' devices, they appear, they aren't greyed out but the mouse does nothing and I can't tick them
Anyone ideas, I would be most grateful
Ta.
USB Not Working.

Re: USB Not Working.
Did you add your login to the vboxusers group on the host?
you must log off and back in for it to take effect.
