| 871746 | 2010-04-01 06:46:00 | I have installed VMLite and Windows XPmode on my Windows 7 home premium machine and it works fine except the XP mode does recognise either the USB devices or the DVD drive. The drivers all seem up to date. Is this normal behavior for XP mode or can I do something to access the devices? | mcginty (10610) | ||
| 871747 | 2010-04-01 06:51:00 | under properties, have you selected the integrated features option? Here (www.imagef1.net.nz) | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 871748 | 2010-04-01 07:12:00 | XP mode doesnt use VMlite. And XP mode isnt part of Premium | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 871749 | 2010-04-01 07:12:00 | How do I get to the Windows virtualization window shown? Remember this version of W7 does not normally support virtualization hence the VMLite. | mcginty (10610) | ||
| 871750 | 2010-04-01 07:48:00 | XP mode doesnt use VMlite. And XP mode isnt part of Premium This is the work around from Wainui since Home pre doesn't have XP mode, and doesn't require hardware virtualization |

| 871751 | 2010-04-01 07:50:00 | I know. You dont need VT if you have Ult, Pro either (now) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 871752 | 2010-04-01 08:30:00 | The XP mode on a W7 that actually supports it works fine for the USB. BUT if you only have Home Pre, you need VMLite -- it does work (mostly). To check on the CD drive, click on Devices / CD/DVD devices, make sure the drive it ticked As shown (www.imagef1.net.nz), I have a CD in th drive and it works fine - as for the USB, thats a bit of a gray area. Just found This article (www.sevenforums.com) Re the USB, instructions and theres a download link at the bottom for the plugin - says it allows the USB. You need to register ( its free) before allowing you to download ( Item number 4). Its 57MB,Downloading it now to try ( tomorrow) bit on the slow side tonight :sleep ( the Internet, not me) :lol: So I can let you know tomorrow if the USB are now working. |

| 871753 | 2010-04-01 19:40:00 | Thanks Wainuitech, CD is now working, I await with interest your trial with the USB. | mcginty (10610) | ||
| 871754 | 2010-04-02 01:03:00 | OK USB DOES work -- bit of mucking about, but thats because the current VMLite, still doesn't support USB as it is -- SO follow the instructions I posted on the previous post Instructions again (www.vmlite.com). I started from fresh so there wouldn't be problems :rolleyes: Anyway. Uninstall the Current VMlite, download the two files from that site, the first one is Sun Virtual Box ( 70MB) & VMLite Plugin for VirtualBox, I then went into (my user Name) and dumped the VMlites File (folder) Sun makes a new folder called .Virtual box. Install Sun VirtualBox. Then install VMLite Plugin for VirtualBox, load in XPmode as before -- Now USB will work. If you look At this (www.imagef1.net.nz) - My USB drive is now showing - clcik it and the drivers will install ( See Note Below) - before clicking - if you look in My Computer (www.imagef1.net.nz) NO USB drive :crying BUT After ticking (www.imagef1.net.nz) :banana. Note: when you plug in the USB drive, you may get two pop up windows (autorun on drives) One will be for the Virtual Machine, the other will be for windows 7 - if you dont allow the right one it wont show in VM. "should" work for a USB printer as well - just may ask for software. Cant test that, as all my printers are Network/Ethernet Based, no USB ones. You can open XPmode from Sun VM or VMlite - doesn't matter. |
