Make sure you read the comments too; some other great ideas there too. 
On the basis of those and of what you wrote, my first question would be 
what happens when you use a different mouse and keyboard? I'm no expert 
on driver issues, but you may have to even uninstall them both to rule 
out the possibility of a faulty driver causing your problems.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
