  I agree, but computers do weird things sometimes.  It's really easy
to try another keyboard and/or mouse.  Diagnosing a broken Windows
install can sometimes approach the impossible.  (Re-imaging is a
common practice for a reason.)

  In particular, try:

  ... unplugging the PS/2 mouse (if any) and using just the keyboard.

  ... a different PS/2 keyboard (with and/or without same mouse).

  ... a USB keyboard and/or mouse instead of PS/2 flavors.

  ... booting an OS from CD (e.g., Win rescue console, Bart PE, Linux
live CD, etc.) to see if the problem occurs with a different OS
installation instance.
