Can't View my Lenovo A6000 on VM VirtualBox (Win 7 Guest)

Can't View my Lenovo A6000 (Android 4.4.4) on VM VirtualBox (Win 7 Guest)
I can see it on the Win 7 Host.
I have already added it in my Devices/USB/Settings

do you have the drivers installed in the Guest ?

do you see the USB device in the guest ?
Change your networking type to Bridged Networking. Default is NAT and browsing normally does not work across different networks. NAT is a different subnet (different network).

I ran LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.12.exe on the Guest which came with my Device but no message showed. Ran from CMD with admin rights but no use message.

Now when I go to Device Manager and check it says 'Unknown Device'. Uninstalled - Reinstalled. yet the same.
now it says USB device not recognised
Where can I get the Driver. Checked several. On Lenovo site source code only exists
I tried with a
Samsung GT-S5282
Micromax A117

all giving same results. Basically there is issue with VM Virtualbox that it cannot setup the Androids.
I tried changing the Networking. I am also restarting after each change.

Kindly note that my machine is 64bit but since Vm Virtualbox does not have Win7 64 bit I have installed Win 32 bit. Also while installing 'Guest Additions' I have to manually load the 32 bit version.

Also please note that my MS Sdk did not install correctly. Will that make any difference ?
VMware Workstation will easily run 64-bit guests. I do that all the time.
Thanks that works.
@Allan_Fernandes - Thank you for the update and I was happy to help.
