That's where my problem lies, I believe. When I first attempted that
drill, VBox complained that it could not deal with USB... The Extensions
were not installed. So I went and got the Extensions, and after several
false starts of double-clicking the Extensions files... which silently
failed... I discovered the 'File|Extensions' mode of installation and
used that. Vbox claimed success... but I still get the original error in
'enabling USB'...
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005)
Component: Host
Interface: IHost {dab4a2b8-c735-4f08-94fc-9bec84182e2f}
Callee: IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91}
So the problem seems to me to be with the Extensions pack and the rest
of the VM software... it installs 'successfully' but doesn't work on 64
bit debian 6.0, and further, causes a problem with the Guest additions
installation under ms xp...
szAppName : VBoxService.exe szAppVer : 4.1.10.0
szModName : VBoxService.exe szModVer : 4.1.10.0 offset : 0001e135
I assume the problems are related.
No such problem under ubuntu 11.40. It just works.
Thanks for all the help. Still no joy, though.
