I'm running VirtualBox and the mouse while running an OS is unbearably slow and laggy. Everything else is running perfectly smooth but the mouse makes everything terrible. How do I fix this?

What is the Guest machine?

The OS? It's running Ubuntu from a flash drive and Tiny Core Linux

Is that Guest OS or Host OS?

The guest OS crashes, the program and host OS stays fine

That's odd. It finally accepted the iso for the additions.
