Mouse not working in the interface outside of the guest OS

Ok, here is a weird one. I have installed virtualbox on a few machines without problems, I try to install it on a Lenovo T500 and I get this weirdness. I am not able to click on some things in the installer, the VM setup page, and sometimes I can't even click on the titlebar of the guest OS window (can't get focus).

I've not had any problems with the mouse with any other application. This appears to be something more fundamental than the VM.

Has anyone experienced this problem? What do I need to give out to help in debugging this issue?

Host: Lenovo T500 running XP Pro.
Intel Core2 Duo
P8400 @ 2.26 GHz
1.58GHz, 268 Mb of RAM
Physical Address Extension

Thanks,


Adrian

With only 268MB of RAM what guest are you running under XP?

How much RAM did you allocate to the guest?

Bump.

Just to reiterate, this is before I even start a virtual session.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
