USB does not work

Post by Cyril777 »

Hello all,
Virtualbox is a fantastic software, but one thing I cannot make work is USB through it.
I have windows 7 x64 as host, and another windows 7 running into virtual box.
I have also other configuration Windows 10, 8.1 and XP and all behave the same.
This is version 4.3.28r

When I want to get USB device to be transfered into my virtual box, a VirtualBox USB deriver gets installed into my host windows, then it disappear from it, but no transfer occurs to the virtual machine..., so there is a bug somewhere...

Thanks a lot,

You have defined filters for the VM?

I have tried but with no success either...
Filter are to take over USB port from the host when the virtual machine starts.
If I'm using the menu to connect, nothing happens from virtual machine.

Thanks
