| windows 7 premium x64 2 posts | External hdd comes up as "VMware USB Device", can't access in Explore Hello, lately my external hdd comes up as "VMware USB Device" when I plug it in, and the drive doesn't show up in Windows Explorer like it used to. I've connected it to another computer and I can access it fine... what needs to be done for me to use this drive again? Thanks |

| windows 7 premium x64 2 posts | There is VMware workstation in my taskbar, but it says "No virtual machines running". When I open it and try to access VM > Settings like that website says, I can't, because the whole VM column is greyed out. |
