I have changed the mouse sensitivity in the guest Windows 7 system: there has
been no apparent effect: both ways have essential no scroll wheel
functionality. I have not changed the mouse sensitivity in the host 64-bit
Windows 7 system. that than the fact that I have installed the drivers for
the Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 (Vista 64-bit driver from the
Microsoft site), this is a fairly clean install.
