Mouse does not work.

Host: Windows 7
Guest: Centos 6.3 minimal install

I can't get my mouse to work or copy and paste between host and guest.

I have to press on the right control button to get the mouse to appear on my host, once I click on the linux guest, the mouse disappears.

I have installed guest additions successfully and I'm able to get 'shared folders' to work.
I manually added the InputDevice section in my xorg.conf

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
