[Solved] No mouse integration in VirtualBox Arch host WinXP guest

I have a Windows XP installation in a virtualbox guest with ArchLinux as host.

Everything seems to be running almost fine (I feel some latency) except mouse integration.

Mouse works in the WinXP guest but I have to click first, and to use the mouse outside the guest I have to hit the "host" key (Right-Control), ie no mouse integratrion.

Yes, VirtualBox Additions are installed on the guest.

I have tried changing the color depth of the guest to 16bits and 24bits to no avail.

Any ideas?

Never mind, I fixed it. Guest Additions weren't correctly installed on the guest. I could reinstall them because the were problems in the Windows registry. I fixed it running CCleaner on the register, then reinstalled Guest Additions, and its working fine now. Nothing to do with ArchLinux.
