USB Causes Host (win XP) to blue scree

Post by klimoskb »

I'm trying run a guest using opensolaris on a Windows XP SP2 host. Everything works great, however whenever I enable a USB device (Thumb Drive or MP3 Player) it causes my Windows XP host to blue screen.

Anybody have an idea?

What is on the BSOD? If you note the module/file it crashes on, you can use Google to find a solution. Or someone here knows what it means.
