Craig,

Did you check your BIOS settings as Sean suggested?  

You should have either a legacy USB mouse which you should either enable/disable (can't remember which) or if you have an option to set the PS/2 
mouse options set it to auto.  I seem to remember having a similiar problem, a year or two ago and that solved it for me.
