I'm currently running VM WorkStation 9.0.3 build-1410761. Since I purchased workstation, any time I plug a USB drive into my PC (flash or hard drive), the PC's drive light goes crazy and my machine is virtually unusable for 2 to 3 minutes. Afterwards all is fine. The cpu usage is normal (near none) during the event, but the PC behaves like it is 100% busy. Clicks on windows may or may not be acknowledged or the click might be recognized 30 seconds later. The Host and guests are all affected. If I close all guests and shutdown workstation, I can plug and unplug USB drives with no problems, but if I have workstation running with even one guest, the PC goes crazy when adding a drive.
I figure I can't be the only one having this happen. Any ideas on a solution, or is this just a VM bug?
Any suggestions welcome,
Mike.
