Update: After install SP3 and all hot-fix for Windows XP (rebooting when required), I reboot the Guest and insert the USB flash memory. VMware player show me a message about the new inserted device and its availability in the Removeable devices list. So I select the USB flash memory in that...

OK, but if XP need extra driver, it should require them explicitly, as happen with the web-cam: the OS detect the USB web-cam (the web-cam in not really connected to an USB port, it is bluit in the lap-top monitor) and looking for a proper driver; since the OS cannot find a suitable driver, it...

I just looked at that: the solution provided here does not fit my case (I the OS registry there is no items to delete, as mentioned in the post)

I've read the change log from 4.2.6 to 4.2.8: there is no fix related to USB issue. As just mentioned, there is no ticket open about this.

I post the message in the new Thread entitled "USB issue with VMware"

Only for notice: I try a little USB 4GB flash memory and it don't work too :(.

OK, I'll try with another USB device(s). I don't need someone that can solve my problem(s), I just need someone that can tell me what is the actual status and the real source of the problem. Since that, I can belive that the issue is only mine, and I have insufficient skill to solve the...

Hopachi, thank you for the suggestion: unfortunately, the link you post is one of the lot I'd read before submit my question in this forum. I can understand the there isn't a "fully support" for the USB devices (by the way, nothing is perfect), but in my case there is neither a "partially...
