I have a guest os of win2k on a win2k host system. With player version 1.0.3 I was able to connect to my usb hp scanner/printer and all was ok. Now, after upgrading to 2.5.2 as soon as I turn on the printer/scanner and tell player to connect to it, the guest slows to a crawl (and is unusable) and process explorer (procexp.exe from sysinternals) shows system (whatever that means) is using 100% cpu.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the hp software inside the guest to no avail.

Any ideas?
