Note that I cannot evenly reinstall Virtual Machine, due to another Windows gift, the famous "Error Code 2755" (especially for Virtualbox only - I could install some other apps) I can't reproduce it now (I'm working and such an attempt would compromise everything…) but it's known and I could'nt find any solution. Sorry, it is out of topic, but it could help somebody as well. I cannot run any machine by "Show" without meeting another ugly infinite error, that hangs everything for a long time and no solution: no machine can start. This is plain, but it's eventually working for me.ĭo not give familiarity to the computer, always treat it like a stupid ('cause that's it): one thing at A TIME.īy the way, I have another 'Virtual' problem, i.e. Run that machine and ensure the USB is mounted: it must also disappear from the Host system Explorer.ĭo not overlap the same USB in different Vbox. Plug one USB (at a time), select and set into one machine (at a time) the appropriate USB. Note that I found 172 [HKEY_… references to remove, so you will probably need a tool to do that. I don't give details, since you should know what I am speaking about. Now find and delete from the Registry ALL occurrences of Sandisk - you can even export them before, but there is no risk to do that at this point, provided you know exactly what you are doing. Unplug all the attached USB using the system's function: "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon for "Open Devices and Printers", or something alike, (I generally suggest not to simply use the "Eject" by the explorer menu).

Remove any single device from the USB Setting of ALL your Virtual machines. No UpperFilters entry to remove from the Registry after years of vain hope, here is my only solution, rudimentary but drastic, to escape this nightmare. So some structured jobs are unable to proceed anyhow.

It's so easy to find them "busy with a Previous Request "… that it triggers something like a domino effect, even rebooting the system. These use a few Sandisk USB, some of them partitioned and readable only inside the XPsp2 environment nowhere else. I daily run 3~4 Virtual machines, XP and Win7, under Win 8 Host, with hibernation I don't know how, but I could bind a USB stick.

Yes, that was the problem, the VirtualBox USB driver was missing from Universal Serial Bus controllers. I also deleted parts of the USB Filter (but I tried that before many times) and finally I started my VM again.Īfter I inserted the USB device I got a notification from my host that it installed the VirtualBox driver! (I don't know if it installed it again?!) Then I could bind the USB device by right-clicking the USB icon of the VM window and selecting the device. Yesterday I tried out the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" of the "Power Management" of both Generic USB Hubs with no breakthrough, today I unmarked that again on both Generic USB Hubs. Then I made a change in the Device Manager of the host machine. I changed my VM a little bit, I moved it from C: to D:, and added a CPU in VirtualBox settings. Watch guest device manager detect actual device.Īs I spent some time googling the answer, here is what helped me out:.Watch host device manager show Virtualbox USB.

Check the USB filter setting of the guest (generalize it by leaving everything clear except VID/PID settings).Most likely this came from Wireshark or I may have installed it manually. In my case it was there and had value USBPcap. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\.If then the device is not detected by the guest OS, check if the host Windows has an upper USB filter driver like USBPcap installed. If you got this right and watch the Windows Device Manager while plugging in the device, you see USB Controllers -> Virtualbox USB appearing instead of the actual device.

Adding a device filter as mentioned by rubStackOverflow is necessary avoid the host OS using actual drivers for the device.
