Mouse in fullscreen mode

Post by joseche »

Hi all,

I am using the full screen mode to play a starcraft, but the window resolution is really small, its a little box in the center of the screen, the rest is just black, so when I move the mouse to the right for example, the point goes out of the window and the game doesn't scroll to the right as it should.

How can I keep the point inside the box of the VM ?

Thanks

Either don't install the Guest Additions, or simply disable seamless mouse. Right click the mouse icon on the status bar for it, or check the Machine menu.
