USB devices not working. Windows xp the problem??

Post by silver669 »

Hi,
I installed Windows XP into my Virtualbox (using a Mac 10.5.8 as host) and all works fine except Windows won't discover any USB devices I plug into the Mac. Ticked all the USB boxes in Virtualbox and added the device (Sony MP3 player) in the filters...which also appears under the USB icon at the bottom of the VB screen with a tick.

I looked in the Windows Device Manager and no drivers appear to be installed (shows 3 yellow question marks) for the Base System Device, UBS controller and Video Controller. What should appear under drivers?

Anyone had this problem and know how to solve it please? Would be great to get USB functioning. Thanks
