Since the mouse works. The first and easiest thing to do is to see if you have picked up a virus or trojan that may have caused it. Whatever program you have for anti-virus, run it. Then, if you have Ad-aware, spybot search and destroy or even microsoft's anti-spyware, run them. Do that first, then we will try other remedies.

If you don't have these you can click on the url's above to get them. Then install them.

Had the same problem on my Packard Bell Easynote E2. Found a solution on the PB forum: http://forum.packardbell.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=34859
Basically you need to disconnect the power cable, take out the battery, and hold down the power button for about 30 seconds. I guess it resets the BIOS. Or something. Anyway, worked for me. Good luck.
