Running Windows 2000 in Host and Guest under Ver 4.5.2.

The VM problem is that the Guest does not recognise insertion of a memory
stick into the USB device that is marked as automatically detect when this
VM has focus. It works fine otherwise under the Host.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Jim.

The problem here seems to be that the host 'grabs' the USB
device before VMWare can recognise it. Unload the USB-drivers
on the host and your problem should/could be solved.
