Win XP Guest: no USB stick, no scroll wheel

andreP · Post by **andreP** » 10. Sep 2008, 15:32

Hi,

I installed Win XP under VBox 2.0 on a MacBook Pro.

CD/DVD drive and BT keyboard work, so does the wireless networking (did not try Ethernet).

I cannot use any USB stick (even after activating the USB port in VBox) and wheel scrolling with a Microsoft mouse does not work either.

any idea?

Kind regards,

Andre

Have you Installed Guest Additions?

For your USB STICK you may have to create a USB FILTER. This is described very nicely in the USER MANUAL under Section 3.7.7 USB support

Not sure why the scroll wheel is not working unless you do not have Guest Additions installed.
