Host loosing control of USB webcam

Post by davidm777 »

Setup:
Host: WinXP Home, sp2 -> VB 3.0.4 r50677 (not OSE)
Guest: WinXPpro, sp2

Basic problem is this: whenever I have a virtual machine running, I loose control of my Creative USB webcam on my HOST. This does not happen when I use a *nix Guest machine.

I have both "Enable USB Controller" and "Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller" off and no devices of any kind selected in the list of "USB Device Filters." I DID, at one point, have both USB checkboxes 'on' (no Devices, though). I also checked the .xml and it has both USB options as off.

Any ideas?

David
