Glitchy Mouse Issue
I am currently running Mac Snow Leopard with Virtual Box so I can run Windows XP. I need XP cause I'm an Autocad User. Virtual Box is awesome by the way and I am very pleased to be given the oppertunity to use VB for free. However when I boot up VB I get a message that says I have a mouse capture setting wrong and when VB opens it captures my mouse. And once my mouse is in the VB window its very very glitchy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or did I explain this well enough? I'm not sure what else to say or do at this point.

Re: Glitchy Mouse Issue
Have you installed the guest additions (in the guest)?

Re: Glitchy Mouse Issue
I reinstalled VB with extensions and Windows is running like a charm. However Autocad seams to be a resource hog so I'm gonna keep VB cause its awesome and send Autocad to boot camp lol. Thank you for your tip! If any autocad users out there have found a way to make it work I'd be gladly to know. Love and Light

Moving to Windows Guests. This is a Mac Host with XP Guest, not a Mac OSX Server as Guest.
