Unable to switch to USB 2 in USB settings.

Post by Cosmic Puppet »

I have windows xp successfully installed in vbox on a windows 7 machine. I have installed the extension pack that supports USB 2 + 3, however the settings are greyed out. I've been trying to change them using command prompt but so far no luck. I don't have I.T. experience.
