Windows 7 won't release control of USB devices!

Hi,

I am trying to use USB devices within a VM, VMware detects all of my available USB devices but when I try and enable them into the VM they do not connect, I assume this is because Windows 7 won't release control - I also have this issue in other VM software packages. I have tried using the exact same process on a laptop using the same Windows 7 host install and it works fine, it's only on my desktop computer where the issue arises.

All help appreciated!
