    What was the program?

    It could just be that your mouse has swapped itself around somehow, go into your control panel in your start menu and look at the mouse settings and see if they seem right.

    Have you tried uninstalling the game and seeing if that is whats causing it?

    To be honest, I have never had a problem with a mouse so I am just guessing here, just thought telling the name of the problem might help the techies pin point it better.

    There are a few on here that are fab with the logs but just wait until they ask for it.

    I have googled and the only problem people are having is that the mouse in laggy in game and that if you have a logitech mouse, it might not work because of the drivers, although that was written a while ago so dunno about now.

    Someone will be along in the morning and can give you some better advice. :)

    have you scanned with antispyware, ad-aware, avg antispyware, webroot, spybot etc..

    do you have another mouse/port to try, just to rule it out?
