Windows 7, XP Guest, no USB host?

I managed to install VMware Server on a Windows 7 Beta build 7000 OS.  I installed the OS guest WIndows XP and VMware tools.  I use a laptop Acer Aspire 5610 series.

I can't get the comments XP to see my USB flash drive.  When I plug the flash drive, Windows 7, picks it up, but there is no activity at all in the Device Manager on Windows XP.  I tried to enable hidden devices, looking for material changes, booting the OS prompt with and without the connected flash drive, and I can't get the XP comments to see the flash player?

I also tried to add "usb.generic.autoconnect ="TRUE"in the .vmx file.

Anyone have any ideas?

-Helmet

you have not checked the usb device. Check the toolbar of the remote console - in the section usb devices.

Please reward points - we must know if we helped.

  • 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

    Hello

    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.

  • 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.

    Abdul

    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)

    eth0 is a dynamic IP (DHCP) to get wireless internet access

    eth1 is a static IP address

  • How to enable the Windows 2008 R2 guest operating systems on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter edition host

    Sorry, I realize it is there much written and blogged about activation and license but I still cannot grasp exactly what to do, please can you help me.

    I have a host running windows 2008 R2, datacenter edition.  The 2008 datacenter edition license allows any number of windows OS to run on this host (will run for most 2008R3 standard edition) so I guess (I hope correctly) that I don't need to buy more licenses.

    So my question is, when these comments of the virtual machines are created, how can I activate them?  What product key should be used?   I have a product key for data center edition, but it does not work "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows server 2008 R2.

    Thank you if you can let me know if there is a way (or ways) for the operating systems Windows Server activated running on datacenter edition.

  • How can I add a USB host controller high-speed to my PC?

    My OS is windows xp home edition. I get this message that the HI-SPEED device attached to Non HI-SPEED USB Hub.

    The USB Composite device is a USB HI-SPEED device and will function at reduced speed when plugged into a port not HI-SPEED.

    There is no host controller USB HI-SPEED installed on this computer.

    Recommendation: You add a USB host controller high-speed on this computer in order to get maximum performance.

    So, how can I add this USB host controller high-speed to my PC? Is - this material I must add and physically install to my PC?

    As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi Drake,

    Review the devices USB connected to your PC and make sure that there is not a USB 1.x device connected to the same USB HUB (front or rear).  USB 1.x devices will cause the USB HUB at the bottom shift to 1.x speeds.

    You have an old PC (2002), it is possible that your PC does not have a USB HUB 2.0.  In this case, you need to install a USB PCI adapter card.

  • Pavilion 15-p101nr: 15-p101nr usb host driver

    Hello.

    I deleted hp-version of Windows 8 and installed clear Windows 8.1. I also installed all the drivers for my laptop on your site, but when I tried to plug my card its USB, a PROBLEM that has happened: it reboots once per second. I know this problem, and I guess that's wrong USB host controller drivers. Unfortunately, I couldn't find this driver anywhere in your Web site. Please, help me.

    Best wishes, gaze and others.

    Hello. Thank you for your response.

    Unfortunately, you did not help me. I have macbook - like keyboard and touch pad instead of support apple-like clumsy "OEM ONLY CUZ YOU ARE STUPID".

    I found solution myself. To resolve this problem, you will need to download the drivers from the site Web of AMD:

    http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/desktop?OS=Windows+8.1+-+64#

    Then, you will need to unzip and install. Not yet the end.

    Open windows, the Device Manager. Search for Universal Serial Bus Controllers > Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. Right-click on > Properties > driver > Update Driver. There you have to Browse my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list of devices on my computer > Have Disk > Browse. Now, we go to this folder:

    %folder_of_unpackadge%\AMD-catalyst-Omega-14.12-SB-SATA-AHCI-WIN8.1-Win7\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\UsbFilter\W764A

    Windows will now detect AMD USB Filter Driver and warn us that this driver may be incompatible with our device. We have to accept and... It fits perfectly. Repeat for other Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller, and we now have 2 AMD USB Filter Driver instead of them. Now everything works in stone.

    Good job, HP, AMD and Microsoft.

    Original title: Code 43, w/PnP problems? Microsoft has disabled my backup storage device (he called unknown device) because these problems have been detected. Standard USB host controller. I need to access the files stored there.

    How can I access files stored on the device, if Microsoft does not detect?  My documents are lost?  What can I do else?  Thank you!

    Hey anewme,

    What is the number and model of your computer and the storage device?

    In addition to the above suggestion, try these too.

    1. check if the device works in another computer to see if you encounter the same problem. If you have the same problem, there could be a problem with the unit. If you believe that your device is defective, contact the manufacturer.

    2. before Windows can find and install a driver for your USB device, it must be able to correctly identify the device. Sometimes, you might have a USB device that Windows does not recognize and which came with a disc containing a driver. In this case, you can look for a driver on the device manufacturer's Web site. You can often download drivers from the support of these sites section. Reference: update drivers: recommended links

    3. download and install all the drivers for your motherboard. See how it goes.

    This should be it.
