    Hello,

    I'm kind of a newbie in this forum so I beg your pardon if I'm missing anything, but I can't find anything refering to my problem.
    I write as I have a problem configuring a specific USB device: a datalogger which I suppose it's working as it works as expected (certified) in any Windows OS (XP to 8.x 32or64).

    I'm on a MacBook Pro, with Parallels installed.

    1) I created a virtual machine with Windows 8.1, everything fine, but
    - I run the Win 8.1 virtual machine
    - I attach the USB device
    - Parallels asks me if I want it connected to Mac or Windows, I choose Windows
    - Most of the times the virtual machine locks and I have to kill it
    - when it desn't lock I can't even see the USB device in Windows device manager

    2) I created a physical partition on my HD with BootCamp, in which I installed Windows 8.1
    - I run the physical partition
    - the USB device (datalogger) works fine

    3) I created a virtual machine upon the physical BootCamp Windows 8.1 partition
    - I run the virtual machine
    - the USB device (datalogger) works fine

    On one side I can understand what changes between case 1 and case 2.
    I can't understand what's the difference between case 1 and 3.
    Do you have any solution, fix, advice, checklist, documentation, whatever to help me?

    Thanks a million!
    Best regards
