Hi!
I would like to know to disable mouse integration on my virtual machine.

I have a laptop with windows vista home premium as host and I've installed on a virtual machine windows xp professional as guest.
I'm using the last version (3.0.4) of virtualbox and i've installed the guest addition, but i would like just to disable the mouse integration in order to play with Worm World Party.

Thanks for your help.

On the lower right corner of the VM window, second icon from the right. Right click and select disable.

Thanks a lot!!! It works! I thought it was more difficult, bu it is simple.
So now I can disable this feature when I want to play Worm World Party and then easly re-able the mouse integration for other application. Great!

Hi! I would like to ask you one more thing about the "mouse integration" function.
On the lower right corner of the VM window, second icon from the right. Right click and select disable.
By doing this way, every time i shut down the virtual machine and then i turn it on, i need to re-do this process.
Is there a way to disable mouse integration more "permanently" so that i don't have to disable it every time i turn on the virtual machine?

thanks.

Not that I know of. I looked at one of my machine.xml files and see no reference that would allow it to be turned off.
