Re: AutoCAD and mouse integration

Looks like "mouse integration" is much more than just mouse integration, since upon disabling "Hardware acceleration" in AutoCAD, it works fine, with mouse integration both on or off, so I guess mouse integration enables some graphics acceleration also? As an additional note, I a...

Re: AutoCAD and mouse integration

OK, so I have installed AutoCAD 2013 trial and managed to get the system up to production speed, by using a classic windows theme (not aero), and keeping mouse integration ON. However, I am still having the same double-cursor issue, with is extremely irritating, since you can't really focus on the i...

AutoCAD and mouse integration

Testing out VirtualBox 4.3.26 on OS X with a win7sp1 virtual machine and AutoCAD Map 3D 2016. I have an issue with the windows mouse cursor showing over the AutoCAD crosshair inside the drawing space, when the windows cursor SHOULD hide. The issue is there ONLY when VB mouse integration is ENABLED, ...

Re: Windows Experience Index

This issue has been puzzling me for quite some time on new VMs running win7. What I found is that, even after installing VM additions, including the Aero driver, it would take some time before acceleration would actually start working. It would usually take running windows experience index a couple ...

Re: Switching between host and guest smoothly & quickly?

Why don't you allow for a custom key combination to pass through the host OS to the guest to do the trick? For example, Parallels Desktop does NOT capture spaces (mission control) shortcuts, making it very easy to switch from OS X (cntrl-1) to PD (cntrl-2) for example.

Re: winXP guest: Dragging windows erratic

Just tested the issue using VB 4.3.8, still the same. I have uploaded a video on the issue for others to get a general idea and test it out. Also, updated the original post with other similar threads I found on the forums, seems like the issue is not windowsXP-only, there are reports on the same beh...

Replying to the original poster,

any chance that the desktop screen size is bigger then the laptop's? Please, have a look at this related thread I have opened.

Re: Video issues with Windows 8.1

First off, what's the GUEST OS?
What if you try switching out of fullscreen (HOST+F) and into fullscreen again, after the VM screen blackout happens? Doesn't it come back?

Re: winXP guest: Dragging windows erratic

While dragging the window, "idle" stays at over 50%, while the application whose window is currently being dragged climbs up to a max 50%, looks like pretty expected to me. The issue shows up on IE as well, as well as while SCALING a window. It actually happens on ANY application window, a...

Re: winXP guest: Dragging windows erratic

Of course it's 32bit, give me a break! I just switched to lower bit depths just to test it out! Anyhow: I created a new winXPsp3 VM on a DIFFERENT 27inch iMac (model 11,1) of the same specs (we got two of them over here) and same OS (10.8.5), again default VM settings (changed only VM RAM to 1GB), i...
