Digital camera problems on Virtual PC

I am running 8.6 and have plenty of memory to run Virtual PC on the computer. I bought a simple little digital camera that only runs on windows. The camera hooks up to the computer via USB cables but when in mac mode is says that the software needed to run the device cannot be found. This is ok though since it is made for windows. But when in Virtual PC the computer will say that the camera is unplugged or not connected fully when i know that this is not true. Is there something that messes up USB connections when running Virtual PC on a mac? Is there some way to fix the problem? Please help, thanks

on the bottom left side you should see a usb icon click on it. You should get a pop up that says usb settings, click on it and click the corrisponding box. make sure the camera is plugged in at start up
