USB Scanner disappearing

Post by lledurt »

I am running VB on Ubuntu 7.04 with Windows XP as the guest system. I am having trouble with my USB Scanner Fujitsu fi-511OEX2. When it is first plugged in it is recognized as an unknown device. After I install the software it works great until I close virtual box. Then it comes in as an unknown device next time I start VB (or if I unplug the device and plug it back in) until I delete the device using the device manager and reinstall the driver.
This device is not used in Ubuntu as far as I can tell that shouldn't be the conflict.
Thanks for your help in advance.
P.J.
