I have the same problem with Virtual PC 2007 in Vista 64.
I have 3 mice on the PC. 2 of them work OK(wired Logitech mouse and wireless
Logitech trackball) and one has the problem (Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse
7000). This suggests it has something to do with interaction with the host
mouse driver.
