No USB support for 32-bit guest and Windows 7 64 bit host

Post by UrK »

Hi,
I installed 64 bit VB on my fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit.
My guest system is XP-32 bit.
Almost everything worked fine for me except for a single problem:
When connecting USB device with Jungo-based driver, the guest identifies the device and starts driver installation.
On this point, host gives me a BSOD in VboxUSB.sys.

I do understand, Windows 7 is not officially supported, anyways, is there anything I can do with this?
Thank you

You can check if it's actually Windows 7 that is causing this and not VB itself by creating a new VM and install a different OS on it. Windows XP, Linux, doesn't matter, as long as it has USB device support. If your Host gives a BSOD on that too, it's a problem with VB and you need to look why this happens. Check the system logs for some hints.
