Hello VMWare community. I could really use some suggestions on my current problem.
I have a HP laptop that came with Vista 64-bit. I want to hook up (via USB) my Numark NS7. It is an audio controller that uses software (Serato Itch) to perform. The software will not work on Vista 64-bit, which I was unaware of until after I bought the laptop. I was told to try VMWare and install Windows XP. I was able to install Windows XP and got it working as a virtual machine. I downloaded the NS7 drivers for XP and installed it on the virtual machine OS. Once you install the drivers it has a small widget that tells you if your hardware is connected. I open up the widget and it says "connected", so the OS reognizes the hardware to some degree. However, when I try to open the Serato Itch software, it notifies me that the hardware is disconncted.
Im not what the problem is. How do I determine if it is VMware, the OS installed or the Serato ITCH software? Are there known USB issues with VMware from Vista 64-bit to XP?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
