    First - sorry for my english

    My Polar IrDA adapter USB 2.0 do not work. When I put the adapter in, it was not merged.
    All other usb devices run perfectly.
    What can I do?

    Do you get any error when connect it to Guest OS (what is Guest OS?)
    Did you install drivers?

    Guest OS = WinXP Home edition

    drivers are all install, I can see it in C/windows/usb 2.0 IrDA
    No error - nothing when I connect it to guest os.

    Still a problem in P4 - BootCamp Works

    I have upgraded to Parallel 4 on a new Macbook Air (128GB SSD NVidia chipset) and I have to report that the Polar USB 2 IrDA doesn't work any more.
    Now it was working in P3, but I only had it for a few days before upgrading.

    The red LED comes on solid, rather than pulsing. If I sleep from the Vista menu and then resume, then the LED starts pulsing, but unfortunately it still doesn't connect.

    I am running Vista 32 Business from a Boot Camp partition.

    If I boot via Boot Camp then it works fine, so I know it is a P4 issue.

    I did report this as a ticket.

    I have the same problem in that the Polar UBS IR device cannot be "installed" on the XP Pro Parallels "machine". The message I get is "Unable to connect the USB device to your virtual machine.

    The device cannot be connected now. Please try again later."

    Here is my setup:
    Mac mini running OSX 10.6.6, Build 10J567, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Ram
    Parallels 6.0.11992, Revision 625164 (not using bootcamp)
    Windows XP PRO, ver 2002 ,Service Pack 3
    I downloaded the most recent XP drivers from Polar USA (as of Feb 17, 2011)
    I have restarted the XP machine since the driver installation.

    Since Parallels is a new installation for me this has never worked.

    Any help would be appreciated
