Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with running Virtual Box where the mouse continues to slip out of the VBox window and goes back into the host (Mac) side of my computer any time it gets near the edge of the VBox window. This gets very annoying after a while because I keep using the button to "capture" my mouse and keyboard but for whatever reason I keep having this problem. I know the obvious solution is to stay away from the edges of the window but that becomes very difficult if I'm playing a game or anything like that.

Any and all help is appreciated, thank you.

If you have installed the Guest Additions, then you're seeing the seamless mouse feature. Disable Mouse Integration to stop this. If you have not yet installed the Guest Additions, then shut down the VM and open it's settings. Look for the Absolute Pointing Device and disable it.

I dont remember installing Guest Additions so I dont think that applies to me unless maybe Im missing it... Where would I go to edit settings for that?

I have Absolute Pointing Device disabled (it always has been) so I guess thats not it

Well, if Host+i doesn't disable seamless mouse, then you must have something installed in the guest or set in it's settings to provide similar functionality.
