VirtualBox OSE problem, mouse capture does not permit simultaneous use of both O.S.'s
I recently installed VirtualBox OSE on my Ubuntu 8.10. My problem is that when using VirtualBox, i am unenable to move my mouse outside the opened window. This means i cannot simultaneously use both the Windows OS simulated by VirtualBox and other functions on my own Ubuntu OS.
Does anybody know why this could be? Thanks in advance...
per default the control-button is the right ctrl (in germany its called strg, thats why i stress it. It took me a while to figure out what they all are talking bout). If you got problems with the guest additions check the virtualbox.forum, they got a very good how-to, or ask again here.
