-- Join me at: www.out-of-sight.net A free voice chat site for the blind Quote, Catch the vision! Its Out of Sight! In VMware Fusion you have to manually edit the .vmx configuration file for the target Virtual Machine adding the following parameter and value. usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE" In VMware Workstation and VMware Player you need to check the "Show all USB input devices" check box under the USB Controller in the target Virtual Machine's Settings. (This sets the parameter and value that has to be done manually in VMware Fusion.) <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
