20-20 Design via Parallels or Boot Camp

[darenrogers]

I recently installed Boot Camp on my 15" MBP. I then installed Parallels so I can run my windows apps without having to boot up into the Boot Camp partition.

While running the boot camp partition THROUGH PARALLELS, I just installed the 20-20 Design software which requires using a USB dongle for security reasons. All worked just fine.

To compare performance while rendering, I then rebooted my computer natively into Boot Camp. Only problem is the software which was working just fine through Parallels, is not working through native Boot Camp. I keep getting an error message about how the dongle driver cannot be found, etc, etc.

Is anyone having a similar problem with this or other software? Very strange.

Have you tried installing the Dongle driver in Windows running from the Boot Camp partition?

Have you tried installing the Dongle driver in Windows running from the Boot Camp partition?

Yes, I did. I downloaded and installed the latest driver (ver 7.6.3) and restarted the computer as told. However when I look at the dongle driver details, it still lists an older version, 7.5.2.

When I click on "update driver" it says the driver is up to date. I can't seem to find the latest driver in the list of drivers to manually update the dongle anyway.

Whether or not this is related, I don't know. But the "Boot Camp" device in Windows shows the caution symbol. When I go to troubleshoot that device, I'm told "There is a porblem with the driver for Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Universal Host Controller - 3B36. Reinstalling the driver might fix this problem." I get the same error message for the 3B3B driver.

Did you get your answers?
I am on a MacBook Pro using Parallels. I cannot get the USB to be recognized and Im not able to find any answers .. anywhere!

Sounds like your chipset drivers need changed/updated. Did you run the driver cd bootcamp makes you create before installing windows?
