USB issues on XP

Hi

Im having big problems with getting USB sticks to work on my VDI´s.

It doesnt show, nothing happens when i attach a USB stick.

My OS is Windows XP, im using View 4,5, I have tried on HP thinclient and P-20.

It works on Windows 7

Plz any clue will be nice.

does the thin client detect the USB stick in the first place?

I know the P20 is a zero client but unsure about the other one.  If you look in device manager of the XP VDI machine do you see the usb device there and maybe needing a driver loaded?

Not sure if this will help; but I had an issue with USB drives on my HP thin clients (T7545).

I had to go into the control panel as administrator, then click on the peripherals tab, then double click on usb manager.

I had to choose the correct protocol for all usb access.  I think it was set to rdp by default, but we are using pcoip.

Once I changed that and logged into a desktop I was all set.  Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Don
