Trouble moving mouse pointer - Virtualbox+Windows 3.1
Posted: 28. Feb 2012, 01:41
I have finally succeeded in making Windows 3.1 operational
except that I do not see an easy way to get access to my
Windows file system, or a convenient way of importing files.
But the biggest problem is that the mouse pointer is very hard
to move about. It moves very slowly and I suspect some problem
with the Windows drivers in this environment. In any case,
the mouse integration is really bad. By the way, MS-DOS has no
such problem, it is only evident after I start Windows 3.1.
I saw the articles about using svgaptch.exe but I don't know how
to make this file available within the virtual machine. How can
I import this to try to run it in Windows?
I am quite new to using VirtualBox, but have made it work well
in several other cases.
Any help with this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for any help that You may be able to offer.
