Mouse problem after VBoxLinuxAdditions install

[ForeverNoob]

Hi All,

I've installed PCLinuxOS 2007 as guest (host is Vista/AMD64, virtualbox 1.5/AMD64) and it was working OK. Then I went on and installed VBoxLinuxAdditions, and since that moment the mouse only opens the PCLOS calendar, no matter where I click it. It looks like the "real" mouse is always in the bottom-right corner of the screen, although the visible mouse pointer can be moved anywhere.

Any ideas?

TIA

That's exactly the problem I met. my computer is a laptop, host is vista, using vbox to install pclinuxos. I have switched to ubuntu, seems ok.
