VirtualBox mouse problem

Post by xKingDoge »

Hi, when I try to put my mouse in the VM (clicking and using host button) instead of putting my mouse inside the vm: it will just place the mouse on the top left of the main screen and if I try to move it back in: it will go back to top left. Any solutions?

Well, first things first: What OS does the VM in question have?

@xKingDoge, A good way to answer N.M.'s question and many others is to provide a VM log:

Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log and the hardening log next to it, zip them, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
