Win XP32 on Win XP x64: USB hangs guest+host
Posted: 1. Dec 2008, 22:12
Hi all, I'm trying to use virtualbox to run an IDE for a digital signal processor (that connects via USB), but I have run into a bit of a problem. As the topic says, I am using a WinXP 32 bit guest on a WinXP 64 bit host. I have installed virtualBox 2.0.6 along with the same version guest additions.
I had the vbox set up with the correct USB filter for the DSP, and everything worked fine (i.e., the device I was using would connect to the virtual machine with no complaints). I'm not sure what changed, but something did and now when I try to connect my device I get the following message (in VBox.log):
00:00:49.881 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_FAIL (0x80004005) aIID={fd443ec1-0006-4f5b-9282-d72760a66916} aComponent={Mouse} aText={Could not send the mouse event to the virtual mouse (VERR_PDM_NO_QUEUE_ITEMS)} aWarning=false, preserve=false
which repeats every 8 ms or so, and the guest locks up. The host does not exactly lock up, but I cannot exit or kill VirtualBox.exe, and the host machine will not reboot without hitting the power. If anyone has suggestions I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks,
-b.
ADDENDUM: It appears this is something screwy with my DSP. Disconnecting, rebooting the host, power-cycling the DSP, and reconnecting got things working again. (For reference, this was a TI C6455 DSP and Code Composer Studio. If only it worked in WinXP x64...)
