How do I make my mouse in a VMWare Server virtual machine work properly?

My mouse, in my virtual server virtual machine is all jittery, and not working smoothly.
Outside the virtual machine it is fine.

My mouse is set to use the VMWare Pointing Device, which it says is working properly. I've tried the sample rate in 100 and 200 reports/second and it makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Install VMware Tools and enable Full Acceleration in Display Properties -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot Tab on the VMware machine.

Always always install tools. :)

Also, make sure the mouse is using VMware drivers. Sometimes it reverts to general PS/2 drivers, which can cause very irritating lag.
