Win7 on Virtualbox 6.1 in IOS Macbook Pro with GPU AMD disabled - USB ports dead...

Post by martinetto »

Hello everyone
I have an macbook pro 15" (2011) where I uninstalled the GPU Graphic AMD by TIRESIAS 2 (modification hardware)...
I had to make the change because the pc had stopped working due to the defect of AMD...
After this, I install the Virtualbox 6.1 and second Win7 32 bit, all ok bat the two USB ports are not present...
I followed the various solutions in this forum with no results...
-------------------------

(A) To manually remove the AMD USB controller:
1. Open the Windows registry, by clicking Start > Run and typing regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000} .
3. In the right hand panel, if the the UpperFilters entry exists, delete it.
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ .
5. Delete the usbfilter string.
6. Close the Registry
7. Delete this file: %system32%\drivers\usbfilter.sys.
8. Reboot your computer.
-------------------------
(B) You can also use the ATI Catalyst Install Manager to uninstall AMD USB controller.
To do so:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Open Add/Remove Programs (XP) or Programs and Features (Vista/7).
3. Double-click ATI Catalyst Install Manager or click Change.
4. Select Uninstall Manager.
5. Choose a Custom.
6. Select the AMD USB controller as the component to uninstall.
7. Reboot if prompted.
-------------------------

In the first case (A) the files (to delete) in "regedit" are not present...
In second case (B) when I try to continue uninstal manager, Catalist reply not files found...

Can you help me?

The USB ports may not be related to the video card change.

Go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If steps 1 through 7 cannot get your device working, please provide the troubleshooting command outputs in step 8, as text in

Code: Select all

 tags. Also zip and post the requested vbox.log, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
