Mouse buttons non functional after 5 or 10 minutes.

[Tommygunn]

This past couple of days I've been reformatting and re-installing windows and tweaking my partition sizes. However, yesterday evening, after finishing loading up Windows XP and in the middle of loading my programs my mouse buttons just stopped working for no apparent reason.
The cursor movement works just fine but the buttons are non responsive.
I reformated and reinstalled windows again this morning thinking everything will be fine but low and behold during my program load up the buttons packed up again after about 5 or 10 minutes.
Any ideas?

eliminate the mouse... try with another pc/mouse and see if it keeps happening. I think you can guess what the outcomes mean.

I've tried with another mouse and I've also tried swapping USB ports with no success.

uninstall the usb drivers via device manager and reboot. See if it fixes it up.
Check your mouse properties and also see if you have any custom programs to control your input devices (logitech setpoint, ms intellimouse etc) and also check what programs are starting up on boot.

can you still control the pc normaly by keyboard?

I`d like to check for malware.
