Because (IMO) VirtualBox works better with the 'Guest Additions : Mouse Integration' feature turned on (no mouse capture clicks required), and turning that on makes the guest on-screen pointer position be controlled by the host (good, IMO), and not by whatever scaling or transfer function the guest drivers might have. Some drivers (Logitech for example) if run in the guest work in a severely reduced functionality mode, because they can't see a Logitech mouse attached (default VirtualBox behaviour is to emuluate a generic PS/2 mouse). -- Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
