You didn't mention that you have a cordless mouse, hence I'm sure yours is a regular one. Interference from mobile signal cannot move a regular corded mouse. Just clean your ball.

( do u have a HCL pc )

neways .. the only soution turned out to be changing the motherboard..
cos the problem was with mouseport
try using some friend's mouse and see if changing mouse can help ...
if not then better see a hardware salesman

- had a prob with sp2 trying to update drivers with its own drivers rather than the manufacturers drivers already installed with sp1 .
- uninstall the driver altogether and see if it is correctly detected after a reboot . if u get the same prob when specifying the particular brand of the mouse . try to use standard ps2
- try swapping mouse and keyboard connectors
