Strange, I have full USB support here on LL 2.0 Someone else may have some answers.

kb7ypf,

Did you remember to add yourself to the "vboxusers" group?  You won't be able to use the USBs until you do that.

Valtam, yes I added myslef to the vboxusers group.  I will double check right now.  Thanks.

Valtam-

Got it working.  Had to go into LM17 Admin/users & Group/click on user/clicked on "Groups" on the right side/ then clicked on "vboxusers" from a pull down menu, than did a system restart.  After the restart I checked Devices and there my USB's were.

Thanks for the suggestion.
