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
