3 USB host Windows 8.1 and windows 7 comments

I can't get my VMs invited to recognize my USB 3 drives when connected. What I've read, this combination should work, as I have the Generic USB xHCI Host Controller driver installed in the Windows 8.1 home, but I can't get the USB 3 virtual VM driver to install on the host.

I stop the host, passed under USB 2.0 to 3.0 and restarted with and without a USB 3.0 drive connected to the prompt and tried to update the existing USB host controller driver in the guest (there are only same drivers). I reinstalled VM Tools in the prompt (there is no entry for USB3 pilot in options?).

Is there a driver I can install in the prompt to get the USB 3 support, or am I wrong in my reading of the various KB articles on USB 3 compatibility, and it's only Win 8.x guest on Win 7 host OS access USB3?

See you soon

USB 3.0 for Windows 7 comments support is not currently supported.

    USB devices remove all you can - restart the computer - is still there, the error? If it isn't
    It is related to one of the add-in devices that you removed. If she is still there, then, the question is
    either a device internal who can not remove or physically with the USB bus itself.
    If it was not there, add devices at a time until it is displayed - keep in mind that it is
    possible that there are two (or more) devices in conflict over the issue. Once you
    identified the check of the aircraft with the help of the manufacturer.

    1. to find the control panel - device - device - right-click on it - uninstall - Manager then
    Restart the computer to see if it clears.

    2. same place - double click on the device - driver tab - driver update - to see if that helps.

    3. check with the support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems), their
    online documentation and drivers, diagnostics and ask questions in their forums on all known
    questions. Update the Bios and chipset or other USB drivers.

  • What brand of external drive USB/eSATA can save a Virtual Machine to host Windows 7 operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. Before you increase the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external. It is to copy and paste the "C:\VirtualMachine\" folder in the hard disk external.

    I just bought an external hard drive that is "Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 3.0" and its software is "WD SmartWare". It seems that the software can back up the entire hard drive only. Alternatively, the backup files by selecting the types (music, photo, document, movies). But can not save a folder "C:\VirtualMachine\".

    So my question is: what brand of external drive USB/eSATA can save a Virtual Machine to host Windows 7 operating system?

    These two questions do not apply if you have a virtual machine.

    Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specified

  • How to configure the network between the host (Windows 8) and Guest (Linux)

    Hello

    I am trying to configure network between the host (Windows 8) and Guest (Linux). Guest on VMware Workstation 8.

    Using this network, I want to configure putty so that I can access comments linux to a PuTTY that is installed on the host (Windows 8).

    Thank you.

    To obtain external access to comments (access the guest from the host), you must configure the IP static within the guest (Linux) as below and restart the network (service network restart)

  • Workstation Pro 12 will be not client 32-bit Vista autofit then resizes of the host window

    I use 12 Pro Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit.

    I had a VM Vista 32 - bit desktop 11 step, I had put for the prompt automatically resize to fit the host VMware window.

    I upgraded to Workstation Pro 12, open the virtual machine and updated for compatibility of 12 jobs. I started it up and everything was fine with the resizing as a guest before to match the host window.

    Then, I've updated the VMware Tools. And now, if I resize the window host VMware, Vista clients sound USB connect/disconnect bongs, and after a few seconds, the host window snaps back to its previous size.

    It is the only VM 32 bits that I have, but with Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8.1 VMs version 12 VMware Tools work very well and comments autofit works exactly as it did before.

    All work around (other that the no upgrade VMWare Tools)?

    Thank you

    Alan

    Same thing happened for me (Vista 32-bit). Same guest machine worked well with Workstation 8 but update to hardware of Pro 12 caused the automatic adjustment to stop working for this particular machine. Windows 10 and Windows 8 virtual machines work fine.

    Interestingly, I found that disabling the hardware acceleration of 3D (under the virtual computer screen settings) solved the problem for me - which is something I had to do to solve another problem I had. Not sure if you have improvements 3D accelerated or not, but it can be worth it.

  • DCR-TRV260 NTSC via USB for Windows XP Home edition home

    Hello!

    I'm trying to help a friend to connect its DCR-TRV260 NTSC to his computer HP Vectra VL420 (Yes, a very old machine).
    The computer is HP P/n: PS660AV #246, with a processor Pentium 4 (Willamette) of 478mPGA socket @1. 70 GHz, installed on a HP
    card system with an Intel i845 NB A05 and and Intel 82801 SB, the latter is, I suspect, the culprit.
    We lack a clean new install of Windows XP Edition family with Service Pack 3, with 384 MB of PC133 SDRAM.
    I know it's something Museum but hey, it works and it can not even buy a more recent machine.

    The problem: I can't do the camera be considered a via USB removable storage device, in order to download still images on the computer, he recorded on tape, not a stick of memory, there no card IEEE1394 and no budget to buy a.
    I installed the software included in his CD that comes with the camera, and I can work
    streaming USB tool and watch motion pictures and still images through it, but I can not D/L to the computer.
    I removed all the foregoing, as well as all instances of the camera Device Manager, then set up PMB56_installer1108a, to my dismay, because he wants to only use IEEE1394 (I understand why, but it should offer the USB option).

    How we manage to always download these images, recorded on tape, on his computer?
    I suspect the Intel 82801 SB is at fault, because even if it does not detect the camera and every time I plug it, Device Manager
    updated to reflect the three instances related to the camera, the Sony imaging device, digital video USB Composite and Audio USB
    Device, it cannot be seen as a removable storage device.

    Of course, I read the manual for the camera and the computer application s/w, but I can't find anything related, none of the people
    two elements indicate how do what my friend waiting!

    I read all the messages mentioning USB as a search term, and the question is: is WXP just incapable of such a feat?

    Help, please.

    Hello!
    After all this time, I discovered the answer to watch me on page 25 of the PDF manual camera operations.
    They are not always photos within the meaning of the word "cybershot", they are
    still images recorded with sound, then it's just a frozen video image recording with
    seven seconds of audio.

    Now we have captured it with Windows Movie Maker and export it somehow to jpg still images.

    Thanks anyway!

  • NI USB - 8473 Windows can't find a driver

    After I installed my software CAN 2.6.1 and connect my USB device, Windows starts the Hardware Wizard but can't find the drivers for this device.  I started with 2.4 and uninstalled and reinstalled it which didn't help, and then I upgraded to 2.6.1.  This does not help either.  My impression is that it's something to do with Windows or the computer, but I thought I would ask if anyone has seen this problem before, where it's a hardware or software problem.

    Hello

    Thank you for your message.  The NI-CAN driver is an INF called nican.inf.  Instead of automatically detected the driver in the new hardware wizard found, try accessing the file nican.inf.  This file is located in the following directory: C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\NI-CAN\staging.

    If this does not work, I only run the following the link Microsoft Windows Cleanup utility and remove all records of NI-CAN of your system and then reinstall the driver once more.

How can I fix this problem... reply me as soon as possible... Thank you all...

    Hello

    It does seem like a virus. Since you're a NTFS format, it should be a system folder. System folder is present on NTFS volumes and is used for system restore points.

    If you want to remove, you may need to format the drive to FAT32.
