Hi Vincent,
Have you installed the Virtual Machine Additions in your guest?

Yes, I just looked in the guest and it shows up in "add/remove programs" as
installed, and if I hit "Install or remove..." from the Virtual PC window it
only wants to delete them. I was not there for the original install, they are
only bugging me now because it is not working. :)
I have not tried deleting them and reinstalling because the prompt mentions
a CD, and the version we have was a download from MS's site. I did not want
to get in to a situation where I could not put them back.

Since you've already installed the Additions, try going into the display
properties of the guest, Advanced, then on the Troubleshooting tab, make
sure the acceleration slider is all of the way to the right.

Hi
Had same problem, even installing VMAdditions didn't do the trick.
You should try to turn off any CPU power saving feature, as the CPU
"throttling" feature used on most laptops messes the timing in VPC.
Try to set the power plan of the laptop to "High Performance", and you
should experience much better mouse and UI performance in guest systems.
