Probably an incorrect mouse driver.
Open a console, and type "setup" <-- without quotes, choose the Mouse Config
option, and try a different driver within your manufacturers options ie:
Logitech mouse -> Logitech driver/generic driver, make sure you choose the
correct interface also.
Once your driver is correct your problems are fixed.
