Gary if you go surfing at night there is always a posibility of a Great White Shark giving you some nasty stuff.

Would you please not answer in riddles? I have a sandbox in AIS and nothing can get out of that, I was wondering if a VM is the same.

I opened integration and it’s auto enabled. Then I clicked on USB TAB in windows mode and I get ( No device found) and that’s as far as I can take it. All the USB on the Win 7 Ultimate side are working and visible in device manager and printers and devices, all drivers are working.

I also can't attach the pictures of the word doc I have to show this the attach option is not working.
How do I attach a photo of this to our post?

Try plugging in the USB drive once you have the Virtual machine up and running. What is it you are trying to see? A flash drive? Other devices need to be shared.
A quick Google etc of the site will give your answers to sharing printers, scanners etc.

Gary, a virtual machine is to be thought of as a real PC. It needs its own firewall and virus protection if connected to the wild. Yes if it gets infected it can spread acrooss the whole network depending on the virus or malware.

Gary I don't have enough info on that since I'm new to Virtual XP, but if you go to MS updates and load on all the security features and SP3 and you use a good AV program with AdWare and Spybot it may be all you need, for home computing if your on a large Network your company should cover your files with a strong encrypted security system. If you run two AV systems you may be able to pick up on a Trojan that the other missed.

I plug in flash drives, printers, a muti USB port, and I tried loading into USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on the back of the computer nothing shows up on the USB TAB. I went to Gygabit downloads and they have a app for XP USB block and unblock which didn't work. When I load the USB device I hear the connection, see it and use it on Windows 7 Ultimate but it's not there in XP.

On the integration tab scroll down and make sure Devices I plug in is checked. It is NOT by default.

Yes Tony, that is correct but you can't change those settings while the VM-XP machine is running. They have to be set when the VM is down through the Settings screen.

I'll try that now. Also just refreshed all the motherboard drivers on the Windows 7 Ultimate side and when I tried to install them on the VXP side they are blocked with a JBrowser.exe file message, I also checked within windows and registry and there is no referance to this JBrowser.exe file being hidden or visible.
