troubleshooting USB connection

Post by PF »

Hello,
I reached point #8.
I'm using Virtual Box Version 6.1.16 r140961 (Qt5.6.2) with Extension Pack 6.16.
I created a virtual machine with Windows 7 Enterprise, Service PAck 1 at 64 bit.
I checked the USB Enable Controller, USB 2.0 and I added a New filter as described at point #4.
I started the VB but the system doesn't mount the USB controller.
Which could be the problem?

Thanks

Hello scottgus1, what do you need to know to help me?
I'm not able to Mount USB into the Virtual Machine I created.
Look at the attached image to see the error:

Hello, I understood point #8 but I came back to point #6.
At that step there is the solution to my problem.

USB3 with external drivers
◦ Win7: you need to install the "Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver" in your Windows 7 guest.

Thanks
