A question about USB support

[Waldeck Schutzer]

I tried with different win versions, and always get the same messages.It 
appears to me that perhaps this particular message is a bit misleading 
in the sense that no VxD is really involved (we are talking about 
Win2k/XP), and I'm still not convinced that this can't be done in wine.
