Thread: Connect BlackBerry Desktop S/W to Playbook in Windows XP Virtual Machine on OS X

I have a new Playbook that I connect to my Macbook Pro. I was able to connect to BlackBerry s/w on OS X immediately but I was having troubles connecting on Windows XP (running on Parallels).

The symptom that something was amiss was that when I connected the Playbook via USB cable (and USB was "owned" by the V/M) Windows presented me with the "found new hardware but don't have drivers" error and dialogue windows.

This was finally resolved when I found, in the Playbook configuration settings, under "Storage & sharing", an option for USB Connections. The default was "Automatically Connect". When I changed this to "Connect to Windows", the Playbook immediately was recognized in Windows. Woo hoo.

Thanks marges for that information, and thanks for sharing here at the best BlackBerry forum on the NET.
Also, welcome. Glad you've joined our group.
