Mouse Jumping around.

Post by Mario2012 »

I am using the latest VirtualBox with a Logitech Wireless mouse, and the cursor is jumping to random locations then jumping back.

My VM OS is Windows 7; 32 Bit.

Thanks.

IDK, I keep pressing "Install Guest Additions", yet no windows pop up to tell me what to do..

Do I have to restart my Virtual Machine?

Install them manually after. Open "Computer" and then the DVD/CD.

OMG.. Guest Additions work WONDERFULLY!

Thanks for the help; my mouse don't have the movement illness anymore.

VirtualBox even runs faster with the Guest Additions installed.
