Hi there. Im im using the last version of VirtualBox on a Windows 10 PC and I have installed a windows XP on a virtual machine. I have many problems with the cursor(mouse). It doesn't matter if I disable or eneble the mouse integration, it's always enabled and it doesn't work properly. The cursor appears on a corner of the window and then jumps to another corner. I'm attaching the log file.

Best Regards

That looks like a "Windows XP mode" VHD. Is that right?

There's absolutely no point in giving a 32-bit VM more than ~3.5 GB of RAM, it can't see it.

And you don't have the Guest Additions installed in the VM.

I'll stop the analysis, because that's enough to discuss already. Especially the first item...

I found this post via a google search. I ran into the same problem with the xp mode vm. Tabbing my way through installing the guest additions and rebooting solved it.
