usb problems with VirtualBox 2.2.2 and 2.2.4

[scbs29]

Hello all
I run PCLinuxOS 2009 and Win XP guests on both PCLinuxOS 2009 and Win
XP hosts. I use the same .vdi files for each host, ie. pclos.vdi and
winxp.vdi.
When I first created these guests I installed my USB all-in-one
printer (Epson RX620) into both guests and could use it from both,
together with my usb external hdd.
Now, however, I can access them from none of the combinations.

When I open VBox in Win XP host I get the following :
Failed to access the USB subsystem.
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service
(VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might not be
installed on the host computer.

Details
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x00004005)
Component: Host
Interface: IHost
{926469ca-9091-42ef-928e-582d78b66c70}
Callee: IMachine
{13420cbb-175a-4456-85d0-301126dfdec7}

USB is installed on the hosts and I have no problem with my usb
printer or external hdd.
In both cases the version of vbox has usb support, ie. PUEL.
I have the same problems on a friends pc with a Vista host and XP Pro
guest. Her usb printer, Lexmark X5495 worked perfectly on installation
but after restarting vbox the printer was again not accessible and the
above message appeared.
Can anyone help ?
TIA

When I open VBox in Win XP host I get the following :
Failed to access the USB subsystem.
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service
(VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might not be
installed on the host computer.

The error message is coming from VirtualBox, not from Windows. This is
actually quite a common error message when using VirtualBox; as best I
can make out, there seem to be a number of different causes, and
possible solutions.

Unless someone else here has an answer for you, your best bet will be to
ask in the VirtualBox forums:

Hope it helps a bit,

Andrew

This is NOT the group to be asking for help with Virtual Box. See if
there is a Virtual Box forum or something.

Yes, I know that there is a virtual box forum.
My question has been up there for a few days, and I thought that I
would also ask in the Win XP forum just in case anyone else has come
across this problem and could give me any pointers.

Apparently there's a new Virtual Box 3.0.0 beta that was just
released.
