I am trying to use a Gemplus USB SmartCard reader and get the following error:

Failed to attach the USB device Gemplus USB SmartCard Reader [0100] to the virtual machine Windows 7.

USB device 'Gemplus USB SmartCard Reader' with UUID {502fb054-c900-4116-9d5e-250d1f0f2f4f} is in use by someone else.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: HostUSBDevice
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}
Callee: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

I tried disconnecting and re-connecting the reader with the VM running to no avail. This error occurs with the card in or out of the reader. Any advice?

Thanks

You most likely need to create a USB filter for it.

Are the steps listed somewhere?

Thanks
