Windows 7 Footpedal

[Old Tech]

I have a Windows 7 OS host and created a vhd a image of the host to run on virtual box. Everything appeared to be working except the usb footpedal. It appears in the listing under devices menu of virtual box toolbar menu but it is not listed under of the virtual desktop under devices and printers. Is this possible?

I am attempting to take our current desktop which performs all the needed tasks and copy it into a virtual environment. This part went successfully. Now I am eliminating all the unnecessary programs needed in the virtual environment. This part is successful. I want to make sure that all the devices are working successfully in the virtual environment and the footpedal is an issue that I could not resolve. The goal is providing a virtual desktop that requires a footpedal that my kids can not alter when using the computer. I know a lot of work for such a simple task.

1. Make sure that the extension pack is installed.
2. Create a USB filter in your guest settings while the device is plugged in the host. Delete all values except VendorID and ProductID.
3. Unplug the device.
4. Start your guest (the one that you applied the filter to). Let it start completely. Log in if you have to.
5. Plug your device. The filter should capture it and pass control to your guest.
6. If the device shows up in your host and is not captured by the filter, either the filter is incorrect, or there might be a problem with your filter installation.
7. If the device shows up, but as unavailable, "eject" it from your host, but leave it plugged in. It should show up as available.
8. Are you by any chance using a USB 3.0 port?
