Keyboard and Mouse not working at welcome screen???
 
Hey there. I'm obviously brand new to linux so I apologize for my ignorance. That being said, I need some help! I'm trying to finish my lab for CIS 105 which is the pre-req for most of the computer science courses offered at my Community College. My task was to install linux mint 17 through a VM workstation. All was going well until I made it to the welcome screen. Once at the welcome screen I see the 5 options;

Start Linux Mint
Start in compatibility mode
Integrity Check
Memory test
Boot from local drive

I can't click on any of the options. Not with my mouse. Not with my keyboard. I'm literally one click away from beginning my first linux experience and I can't click Start Linux Mint. Please Please if you have had this issue let me know what you did to correct it. Thanks Ya'll

you could simply wait until it times out and then starts the live distro automatically.
does your keyboard work then?

is there something non-standard about your setup?

Problem solved
 
So it turns out virtualization was turned off in my bios. Clicked it back on and presto I now have Linux up and running.
