Correction to my earlier statement on driver installation on the Win7 guest.
The installation succeeds but the usb devices will not start and the status
is listed as:
This device cannot start (Code 10)
I am wondering whether this is caused by the fact that only USB 1.0 is
enabled in the Virtualbox Manager.
Thanks for inputs.
