Win7 on Max OS, USB not working

Post by Darjeeling »

Hello,

Currently I am using the latest MAC OS version Yosemite, and installed Virtualbox with Windows 7 on it. So far everything is working fine, but not the USB ports.

I am writing from China, and most online banks regretfully only work on IE in combination with an USB key stick. Regretfully this USB and all other USB are never recognized by Windows. I guess it is a problem from Mac OS.

Is there a way to fix this issue. ...really would appreciate your comments and help.

Thanks :( ,
Darjeeling

First the extension pack has to be installed in VirtualBox. You probably need to create a USB filter.

Thank a lot for your answer. I've installed the extension pack. However, I will go through the manual and give you feedback soon.
