Do you get any kind of message about the integration components being
disabled?

It really should be there if the integration components are working...

VMWare does do USB, so that's certainly an option...

OK, I've found, and fixed, the problem. I thought the IC had installed,
but it seems it hadn't. When I clicked on the Setup.exe on the virtual
CD then it installed correctly, after a reboot, and I do now have
working USB support!

What confused the situation was that the VM Settings seemed to show that
IC was installed and enabled. But I did have an 'Upgrade Integration
Components' option on the Tools menu that when I clicked it, seemed to
do nothing. That's when I tried running from the CD.

Thanks for your help.
