If the driver installation is not working for you then might be the driver which you are using is old one and unable to run on the Windows 7 Virtual PC. So it is better and advisable that you should downloads the latest the driver from the internet and install the same on the Windows 7 Virtual PC. So that you can play the USB On it.

I have downloaded the latest driver for the USB from the official site of the manufacturer and installed the same in the Windows 7 virtual PC but same things happening again as the USB is still unable to detect in the same so suggest me something.
