USB Serial Port (FTDI Chip)

[@CSE1970]

Hello,

Configuration1:
Host : W7 64bits
Guest: WXP 32bits SP3

I can connect/disconnect/reconnect the USB Serial Port everywhere and the guest system recognizes it. No serial ports defined on the VM configuration. No USB filters.


Configuration2:
Host : W8 64bits
Guest : Previous

The serial port never is created in the device manager of the guest OS. It appears in the USB devices menu with the status: CAPTURED. It seems that w8 never let it go the serial port to the guest OS.

I made it work by creating a Serial Port in the VM configuration (Port mode : Host device) but then I can't connect/disconnect/reconnect everytime I want.

What should I look for?

Thank you.

The solution was discussed in the "hassle" thread which by the way was also started by you

I can't link it because only 1 day member can.

Thanks a lot jorgensen.
