Hi all,
Much to my disappointment, when I got my new computer up and running and powered up my virtual XP machine to use VCDS on my car as I always did on my 2008 Macbook Pro, it no longer recognizes the dongle. I have updated everything I possibly can, uninstalled and reinstalled VCDS, no luck. Has anyone just bought a new macbook and have the same issue? It seems that the USB 3.0 is messing things up, but I can't tell whether it is a VMWare Fusion issue, or whether VCDS does not have the right driver for the USB 3.0 that I have. There are too many things going on with the virtualization, and this is an unsupported use of VCDS since they don't support Macs (and I don't have tech support anyway since it is a used dongle). It still works fine on my old computer, so the dongle is not the problem.
More info from someone with the same issue: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2075363
EDIT: He seems to think it is VMWare and not VCDS.
