Configure USB Devices in Windows Virtual PC

Windows Virtual PC has integration features that allow certain types of devices to be shared between the host computer and the virtual machine (VM), including audio devices, clipboard, printers, drivers, and smart cards.

However, the VM may use the generic driver for the USB device, and the device may not work correctly.  To install the driver for the USB device,

1. Disable Integration Features.
2. Log on again.  Under the USB menu, attach the USB device and click Continue to remove the device from the host computer.
3. Install the USB driver, and test it.
4. Release the USB device from the VM using the USB menu.
5. Enable the integration features again, and the USB device should work because the right driver is loaded in the VM.
