    Hi,

    I just recently purchased a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Bundle (Wireless Laser mouse 5000 + wireless ergonomic keyboard) based on a USB-connected desktop reciever. I also have a dual screen setup where I have OSX running on my macbook pro laptop screen and Windows 7 64bit in full-screen on the external monitor.

    After installation everything went well but suddenly several issues occured;

    - Suddenly the keyboard layout of both my Macbook Pro keyboard changed, so that the @ button and several Norwegian specific keys changed.
    - The mouse pointer got stuck in the middle of the host os (windows 7) basically the external connected mouse stopped working, while the trackpad on the macbook worked both on the host and guest image.

    The strange thing about the whole deal is that it seems that the pointer is the only thing not working. The different buttons on the mouse respond and even icons in the background is highlighted as the "invisible" cursor moves around.

    I then tried to connect to a different usb port etc. Connecting the USB host to the Windows 7 image rather than the host machine. So far i can get the keyboard working well connecting, but not the mouse. If i then connect the mouse/keyboard reciever to OSX and not the guest system both the Keyboard and mouse work, but the keyboard layout of both my MAC and Windows 7 host machine change to the unusable.

    Any suggestions?
