Unable to Install Drivers for Hardware

Post by jotruebl »

Hello

I am trying to use a spectrometer through VirtualBox on Windows XP. The spectrometer loads the drivers just fine when it's on the host computer. However, whenever I try to run it on the VM it fails. I have the extension pack and the VM is able to detect the hardware in the USB port. But the driver wizard is unable to find the driver.

Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts. If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
