I'm trying to connect a Matrix dongle to Windows XP Mode, but when looking under USB options it's not listed.
Example:
The dongle gets recognized by the Windows 7 device manager as a HID-compliant device, so it's properly connected.
How do I make Virtual PC recognize the dongle?
I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

According to other forums HID devices are unable to be assigned to Vitrual PC VMs.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I would recommend using VMware's player. It is free and supports USB ports and add-on parallel ports. You most likely would need an available XP license though.

You can use VirtualBox. It supports attaching USB devices to virtual machines.
