Right Ctrl button doesn't work to release mouse
My PC runs on win 7 (quad core) with virtual box win xp pro as guest in virtual machine. The right ctrl button to release the mouse and keyboard from VM control does not work after I enabled the cd drive and usb ports. How can I make it work again?

Make sure that you don't have a USB filter set for the keyboard or mouse.
You can also install the guest additions (in the guest) and not need to use the host key to go in and out of the guest.

I just deleted the XP and reinstalled it with the screen maximized and that seems to have taken care of the problem. Thank you.
