HI all,

I have been attempting to virtualize an application that requires access to a USB device. I can plug the device into the host system (Mepis Linux) and the Windows XP guest sees it and all is good.... until I reboot the guest ... when it comes back up it has no access to the USB device. I can unplug it and plug it back in and viola! it's there again - but this isn't a very good solution as windows requires frequent reboots.

I searched around and really didn't find anything on this. Anyone run into this?

Host is Linux mepis1 2.6.36-1-mepis64-smp
VirtualBox 4.1.0 R73009
Guest is 32 bit Windows XP.

Thanks!
Graham
