I experienced something similar a while ago. My problem turned out to be a
faulty mouse cable. In my case, I had to shut down the computer, unplug the
mouse, plug it back in and power up. I know this is a very Redmond-like
solution, but it fixed my problem.
It's a long shot, but you might try using a different mouse.
