VirtualBox and flash drives (PROBLEM SOLVED ... maybe)

Hi,

WS=>After upgrading my OS and reinstalling VirtualBox, I got an error 
message from VirtualBox saying that it could not enumerate the USB 
drives.  This sounded like my previous problem that I posted for help 
with the Ubuntu users group.  Fortunately, the help files from 
VirtualBox had the answer to the problem.  I didn't add VirtualBox to 
the user's permissions.  As soon as I added VirtualBox to my users 
permissions, the USB drives were recognized by VirtualBox.

It's late and I haven't yet tried to create a VM from that flash drive...
