What kind of mouse are you using? Can you look in the vmware.log file in your VM's directory and see if there are any mouse errors mentioned in there?

OK. Can you suspend your VM and resume it with the mouse already plugged in?

There's a known issue in this release that plugging/unplugging mice after the VM starts up causes this problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Have you tried with the Wacom tablet disconnected?

It's a bug. I believe this issue is actually already fixed internally, and the fix will be available in the next release.

Very sorry for the inconvenience.

I don't have a Wacom tablet, but I can't click inside the Vmware Fusion window when first trying to install a 30-day trial copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (final) on my Mac Pro. Mouse clicking or keyboard tapping is no use inside the VM.

Am I to understand that my standard Mighty Mouse is incompatible with Fusion? Or is it incompatible because I have a Xerox Phaser 8400 printer, or an Epson Perfection 2480 PHOTO scanner, or a LaCie FireWire 500Gb HD or a Keyspan RF remote for Front Row?

What can be done?

Did you plug or unplug the mouse from the system after starting the VM, or are you using a KVM switch? There's a known issue where unplugging/plugging the mouse (some KVMs do this whenever you toggle inputs) causes the VM to be unable to see the mouse. Try suspending and resuming the VM if this happens.

Are there any messages in ~/vmware/your-vm-name/vmware.log that mention the mouse?

I'm glad that did the trick. Apologies for the inconvenience! We'll take a look at this internally.
