Ttry a couple of things:

	1) try a different mouse... and make sure that the mouse port or mouse pins 
have not been bent or damaged.

	2) try another style mouse (standard 2-3 button PS/2 mouse--- no wheel, no 
optics, etc)

	3) try another type of mouse (usb)

	4) install a minimal machine with the text installer and then play around 
with the mouse settings. 

	If all else fails, try the hardware diagnostics for your machine--- perhaps 
the mouse port is no longer functioning correctly.
