USB mouse and keyboard laggy when running VM player

Hello everyone!

I'm a new user to VM player so maybe someone here know the answer straight away.

I've tried google with my question but so far nothing have help

My USB keyboard and mouse works great in the host but as soon as I start the virtualmachine it starts acting "laggy", slow and sometimes frezzes for short durations booth in the virutual machine and the Host.

Even if I close down VM player the USB and Keyboard still acts laggy, I need to restart the Host to get it flowing again!

Does anyone have a solutions or idea what to do?

I'm using Windows 7 64bit on the host and Windows 7 64bit on the viritual.

You should use the latest version of Player, if not yet.

If you're using the latest version, please make sure that VMware tool is up-to-date as well.  You may need to un-install it, reboot the guest and re-install it - you can find discussions about VMware tool in this community.
