I just upgraded my host machine to a brand new laptop (with the latest and greatest drivers, running Win 7 Pro), that only has USB 3.0 ports. When I connect any usb device, (scanner, hard drive, whatever), to my host machine everything is fine, but when I try to connect that same devices to any of my VM's (Win 8, Vista, doesn't matter), I get the "Connection to USB device <device name> was unsuccessful. Device in use" error. Everything still works fine on my OLD machine when I connect those same VM's and devices thru USB 2.0 ports. My VM's are set to USB 3.0 compatability in the settings, I even tried it on 2.0 compatability. I was using VM player (just downloaded latest updates), then tried Workstation 9.0 (with latest updates). None of the other posts I could find on this subject were applicable or worked. Any help would be appreciated.
