Solution 1

See the answer below, from this blog post.

The root cause of this problem is that VMWare only support USB root hub driver from Microsoft. When your USB root hub driver get updated by another software (sony ericsson pc suite, AMD, etc.) the vmware cannot detect the usb driver.

What you can do is install the Microsoft USB Hub Driver on your Host. This is how you do it:

Right Click on your My Computer icon and click Manage. Go to Device Manager. Search for USB Root Hub.
Double Click on one of USB Root Hub. Check the Driver Provider. If it is a Sony Ericsson or provider other than Microsoft, you should install the Microsoft Driver. Klik Update Driver to Install Microsoft Driver.
Choose Install from a list or specific location.
Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install.
Choose USB Root Hub from the bottom.
Check again the Manufacturer. Make sure it is already changed to Microsoft.
Do step 1-6 on all the USB Root Hub.
Restart the Computer.

Solution 2

I restored the usb root hub drivers to Microsoft and then I uninstaller vmware.After uninstalling vmware i tried to install vmware again and after that...IT FINALLY WORKED!!! try that and good luck from me...finally my vmware work like it should do. :)

How would I go about remove the class from all elements except the next one?

For example:
```
<ul>
  <li class="current"><a href="#">Trigger</a></li>
  <li class="next"><a href="#">Trigger</a></li>
  <li class="next"><a href="#">Trigger</a></li>
  <li class="next"><a href="#">Trigger</a></li>
</ul>
```
Clicking on Trigger link a removes all the "next" classes from the li elements except the one directly below

I'm not worried about the whole set of code to achieve this. I've written everything that I need apart from this one thing of removing the class except on the next li?!

UPDATE: SOLVED

Seems I overlooked a simple solution which works well:
```
$(this).parent().siblings().not().next().removeClass('next');
```

is this a better/technically more correct way than the solution I posted? Mine seems to work too but looks ver simple.

.not() is not even necessary. The negating effect of .not() does not chain. Your code somehow seems to work, but it doesn't: The first sibling is never affected: jsfiddle.net/fmGPk/2

Even though you've found a solution that seems to work, it's better to stick to standards and best practices. This code may eventually stop working at one point in the future (not that this is likely, but it's possible, of course). @RobW's method is an excellent way of doing it.

@Purmou – thanks for the clarification. I didn't think it was correct, was amazed it worked. I'll revert to Robs solution.
