Description
Just installed the latest version of VB on a windows 7 desktop with 16 GB of RAM. Almost everything is working but when I installed the guest additions, I cannot get the desktop server and the USB 2.0 devices to enable. When I try in the VB Manager it tells me that it is an invalid setting. I tried creating several different VM's (XP, W2008R2, SBS2011) and all tell me the same thing that the display server and the USB 2.0 are invalid settings.
Everything else in the guest additions seems to be working (Integrated moues, networking and everything else I have tried). On the desktop server I even tried changing the port that it was to use.
The one that is a real clue is why USB 2.0 tells me that it is an invalid setting and that I must install the latest version of the Guest additions to use that function. USB 1.0 work fine.
I have VB running on my laptop at the same version and every VN works fine including the USB 2.0 and Desktop Server.
Thanks,
Mike McClanahan
I could use a little help here.

Please accept my apologies for being old and stupid.
I should have checked to see if I had installed the extension pack on the computer I set up and totally forgot to check.
And on Windows 7 you were correct. I checked the power options in the control panel and got a shock. The setting were blank. In all the years I have been working with Windows I have never found the settings boxes to come up blank. When I selected shutdown the all the virtual machines I checked started working again.
Thanks again for all the help and one hell of a good product.

Mike, there is probably a misunderstanding. There are two types of packages:
