6.5 gives me "Hi-Speed device connected to non HI-Speed hub" error

Just upgraded to 6.5.0-118166 Workstation from 6.0.4. My host is 64-bit Vista Ultimate, and my guest is XP Pro 32-bit. With the older version of Workstation I had no problems connecting my two hi-speed DVD drives to the virtual machine. After upgrading, I get a popup with the following "Hi-Speed device connected to non HI-Speed hub" and it tells me that I need to add host controllers to be able to access the hi-speed USB functionality. This is bizarre given that the only difference here is the version of Workstation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're getting this dialog box on the host or in the guest?

Have you tried upgrading the VM's hardware?

This dialog occurs in the guest. I found the problem, the 'enable hi-speed 2.0 usb' option in the VM settings wasn't preserved from my original configuration; the upgrade disabled it. Moral of the story: don't troubleshoot after your bedtime...

I Have the simal issue with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, but I do not find the USB 2.0 optinj in the setting menues. If there a key for the vmx file to set it directly in the configuration file like

guestOS = "winnetstandard"
usb.present = "TRUE"

:D OK, it is solved by updating the vm-hardware, summary of entries in the vmx:

usb.present = "TRUE"
usb.autoConnect.device0 = "path:1/6/5 autoclean:1"
usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"
usb.pciSlotNumber = "32"
