Ran .iso file of OpenSolaris within Virtual Box but once in the program the mouse pointer is running sluggish and I can't fully install OpenSolaris or activate any of the icons.
Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

You need a Minimum 768MB RAM but I always use 1024MB for anything Solaris. You may still have an issue though with only 2 GB of RAM since you will more then likely start swapping on the host.

That worked perfectly, no stalls at all and internet browsing on OpenSolaris is a breeze! Able to work in and out of Virtual Box and my Mac without any problems at all, as well. Some slight issues such as audio and cannot install Flash plug-in on Firefox for some reason but I'll figure it out. Thanks for your help!
