Usb problem virtualbox windows 7

I created a new filter for the USB stick. I deleted all values except the 3. I went to the site you linked to. There are many Kingston Data Traveller settings, so I tried them all. None made things better. All except the ones that were originally installed by VB resulted in the stick being seen by the Host even when the Guest was running, leading me to conclude that that ones that the VB sees automatically are the correct ones.

The port is 2. I don't know where to look on the host to see if that worked. I read the articles about windows rejecting uncertified drivers, but that does not seem to have happened. Where can I look to see if they are really loaded? I have not yet found the solution to the "base system device" driver not loaded issue. Still looking. So, there we are. I am going to read the links that you posted at the end of your last message, and proceed from there.

I'll let you know my results. In the first of your 3 links, a post by nayasis contained instructions to delete an entry in the host registry for "upperfilters". I deleted it saving the registry entry first , restarted the host, opened virtualbox and the VM, inserted the usb stick and the guest saw it and presto, all is well.

I tried with 3 different usb sticks. In each case, first the host reports loading a virtualbox driver, then the guest sees it after I install the filter and loads the appropriate drivers. I want to thank you very much for the time you put into this and for your patience. For me, this whole exercise is to be able to run a couple of pieces of older hardware that only have 32 bit drivers available. I didn't want to take my host back to 32 bit and thought that a VM would be the way to go.

It clearly was far from simple, but I am now confident that I can move on to the hardware devices. Take care, Socratis. As I said, the list is long, but I've sort of expanding it throughout the years to cover pretty much everything, even the rare cases. It may help in the fix in 3. Test build link posted in The "fix" there seems to be reverting to 3. First reverting to an outdated version of vbox is at most a temporary solution.

Second - as posted in the original bug report above, the problem with the usb-driver ob a 64 bit host is the same with 3. Lets hope somebody will come up with a working driver soon. Until then VMWare Player will have to suffice.

Royaltyrant: Reread my comment. All the other posters in your ticket are talking about host crashes; not about the problem you describe. Sandervl Part of my issue was a crash in the guest following the hosts inabilty to load the Vbox drivers.

So it sounds like Royaltyrant has the same problem but he is getting further than me. Is there anytthing we can do to assist with his problem - provide more info or test a beta? The bug manifested itself in many ways; from crashing user processes to BSODs and even host reboots. Sandervl Downloaded 3. When trying to setup the USB printer as before The host says the driver was installed but the printer dwas not added to the guest.

When trying to add it again I get an error saying Failed to atatch th usb device Epson usb2. USB deveice blah uid etc etc is busy with a previous request. Please try again later and the following detail :. This time the gues does not crash and neither does the host. So we are getting somewhere. However the USB devices still cannot be atatched to the virtual machine.

Virtual machine restarted and still no crash on host so definate improvement over 3. Still the same error trying to attach the printer though Trid another usb device USB webcam same problem - device busy with previous request but still no guest or host crash Replying to sandervl73 :. Nice work sandervl73! My test went off very smoothly. USB scanner recognized normally, test scans functioned normally, image files showed up normally. No slowdowns or crashes on host or guest.

The only thing I noticed and this was also true of earlier versions is that after exiting the guest and then the VBox gui, my USB scanner was no longer recognized.

Device manager displayed an "unknown device". A scan for hardware changes produced recognition, however. In my case, just adding empty filters seems to work, otherwise the usb device is hanging there forever, not in my host not in my guest. Has anyone experienced the USB device problem in host type Windows server? I am running a VB server on Win2k8 32 bit and want to move the host to 64 bit to use the 16gb RAM the server has installed but use USB drives for backups and other usb devices such as flash drives.

Update - installed 3. A change had occurred. When the USB device Epson cx is captured in the guest guest says the usb device is busy Wndows 7 says its found a new device I guess this should be the Vbox usb device it fails to install it.

In the client the device state is now shown as captured. USB device Epson blah blah with uuid 9e7as15bba-acd0a62a5ea3c is busy with a previous request please try later.

However there are no crashed of either the ghost or the guest. Getting closer to a solution by the looks of it. Attaching latest log file. Now installed 3. USB devices are busy in VirtualBox when trying to attach. Those manually added in via settings cause previous error messages. Searching through the open Bugs I cannot see anywhere that this bug has been fixed. I suppose as the ticket is still open its work in progress but could someone give us an update please?

USB is not monitored nor is it updated. When attemted to capture an USB device it silently fails and on the secdond capture attempt fails with attached error. The logs show no trace of the event. It's been a while since I've checked in here, but also in my case, adding an empty usb filter works well. I have to specifically select it from the Vbox GUI once the guest is running, but then it comes up as the device that is attached and all works very normally.

Upon exiting the guest, control of the device returns to the host with no problems. Mind you, I'm still using version 3. I'll upgrade, and then post again.

I can also confirm that using 3. Perhaps on creation of a guest from a 64bit host a blank filter should be automatically created to save other users trawling for the solution.

I can confirm that adding a blank usb filter works for me in 3. No USB-device works in the gast. But this can't be the solution, only a workaround. The solution have to provide the developers of Virtualbox I i reboot host system completely and process again - all fine vbox driver succeess installs So for any new USB device that i want to passthrought to guest VM i must reboot host after first usb use. GUEST - any! Config - Win 7 professional 64 bit running r Have tried everything - even following the instructions USB is clearly broken and completely non-functional.

VMware on the other hand works just fine. You can also try it. Please refer to the following steps:. Download Partition Wizard. Read More. Step 4 Since you are installing Windows 7 from scratch , you need to select Create a virtual hard disk now option in the Hard disk configuration window.
