Hi, I'm running Parallels on a Mac for Windows 7 64 Bit, I have a USB Keyboard controller hooked to the Mac, this device is not being recognized in Windows for some reason.

Drivers are installed, in fact the M-Audio site states this device does not need a driver installed for Windows 7, yet it is not being recognized by my DAW Sonar X1.

My question is, has anyone found out if it is indeed Parallel Desktop is the culprit when USB devices are not recognized in Windows? Is there a fix?
