Vista - USB Not Available

01-25-2009

i inatalled VPC 2007 on host win 7 and used XP in virtual Machine. i tried
VPC only for my PC based ECG machine with ECG Lab.3. Because Only my ECG
machine not running in WIN 7 Ultimate. but i am disappionted when i saw there
is no option of USB Peripheral. My ECG machine is using three USB
peripherals. So i have to uninstall the VPC. most of professional if try to
use VPC then they need USB peripherals for there device.
if Any body can help me either how to use USB peripherals in VPC 2007 or
make compatible ECG LAb3 in WIN7.
Thanks

VPC can use USB devices if they can be mapped via standard networking e.g.
USB memory sticks, zip drives etc.

If you need true USB support, you'll need to use another virtualisation
product e.g. VMWare...

If you are a professional wanting to test software with USB device
support then I advice going from the "free" offering from various
sources and instead use a professionally supported *paid for*
solution.
VMWare Workstation 6.5 works very well with USB devices, I use it a
lot, and it can handle devices which are not storage units well like
protection dongles etc.
A professional usually can afford the small cost of a program like
that.

Or you can try another free option like Sun's VirtualBox that also
supports USB devices!

So far I only have limited time with it but the latest version 2.1.2
seems to work really nice (both in Windows and Linux).
