Microsoft Wireless Keyboard/Mouse lack of functionality

Message:

In a host running WinXPSP1, on a Dell m50 laptop, with a Microsoft wireless
natural multimedia keyboard and mouse (mouse model #1007), I am running
VirtualPC 2004 SP1.

While running an NT 4.0 Workstation VM, with the SP1 Virtual Machine
Additions installed, the mouse allows point & click, but no drag and drop to
either the VM Desktop or the Host Desktop. This anomaly only occuurs on an NT
VM. On a 98SE VM, or Win2000 VM, all mouse functions are as designed.

Just as a possibility, some KVM switches do not play well with wireless
keyboards and/or mice. But VPC2004 shouldn't care so long as the Host OS is
happy with the wireless devices.

Any clues?

Not really - however I have the same keyboard and saw the same problem
once - but after a reboot it went away and I have been unable to
reproduce the problem since.
