Host: Windows 7 64 bit
Guest: Windows XP SP3

I can run my VPCs ok, (originally created with VPC 2007), but I cannot
see any USB devices. The Help says there should be a USB option on the
VPC toolbar, but there isn't - I've just got Action, Tools & Ctrl+Alt_Del.

I have Upgraded the Integration Components, and rebooted the XP system.
Is there something else I need to do?

USB only works with the integration components active.

Try doing a shutdown of the VM then a restart. Make sure the
integration components are enabled in the settings.

Yes, I've done that to no avail. The Integration Features option in the
Settings dialog says Auto Enable, and Enable at Startup is checked. But
the dialog only includes options for Audio, Clipboard, Printer, Smart
Cards & then a list of all Drives. No sign of USB there.

Perhaps I need to create a new VM from scratch - pita!

USB only shows when the VM is running and it's on a menu of the
running VM.

But its not on any menu - I only have Action, Tools and Ctrl+Alt_Del

Just been creating a new Win7 VM, and it looks just the same. Perhaps I
need to investigate VMWare, as I need to develop an app that talks to USB...
