Failed to access the USB subsystem

Post by jusinopd »

Specs: MacBook Air running Leopard, Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.1.4, Windows VM (tried Windows 7 then XP)

VirtualBox loaded and runs just fine. When I create a VM and click on settings I get this error:
Failed to access the USB subsystem.
Could not load the Host USB Proxy service (VERR_GENERAL_FAILURE).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005)
Component: Host
Interface: IHost {f39438d7-abfd-409b-bc80-5f5291d92897}
Callee: IMachine {ea6fb7ea-1993-4642-b113-f29eb39e0df0}

Enabling the USB Controller does not show a list of items, though a USB CD Drive and Mouse seem to work - but not much else.

Any Ideas would be greatly appriciated.
