On Vmware (Workstation or ESXi) you can send a physical USB device directly to the Guest machine as though its plugged into it and this generally works great.
However if the Host OS (in the case of Workstation) or the computer running vSphere client (in the case of ESXi) is for example Windows 7 x64 , and there is no driver for the USB device available on that computer. But the guest OS is Windows XP x86 and has drivers for that device, is there a way to pass the 'unknown' USB device to the guest OS and have it recognise and use it ?
I do not really see the need in Promoting it, at least not outside the EU where they have the prompt asking which browser you want to use. For the rest of us its pre-installed and just there. why advertise it lol.
Thanks, but the auto refresh of ads is something I can't change.. it has been this way even when we worked with Ziff Davis years ago, at the least the refreshing of the ads no longer messes with the page at all.
Also it is comical when I see an ad I want to click on or view, and then it refreshes before my eyes Lol. Btw I do not click on ads to generate revenue, just the ones that appeal to me, like when I am looking for a new wardrobe and then an ad appears for a sale on something local to me.
