Mouse not recognized

Post by csrocha_br »

I did install VB 2.2 some time ago, running under Windows Vista Home Premium. I did located virtual machines (Windows XP) in partition other then system, drive D: Then, I formatted my computer and I reinstalled VB. The older version of XP start running automatically, but a problem occured, mouse does not work now, just after run VB. I checked USB configuration and it looks fine. The mouse is the same, the USB port too. Can anyone help me?

Do you mean the mouse stops working when you boot the VM, or the VM doesn't have a working mouse? Are you sure that you clicked inside the VM so it grabs the mouse? Are the Guest Additions installed for Seamless Mouse Integration?

Thanks for reply. I killed the XP installation, re-installed VirtualBox too and began from zero. Now everything works well.
