My friend once had this same problem, and it could momentarily be
helped by pushing the mouse connector better into its plug. To solve
the problems for good my friend had to have his mouse-port fixed, it
had become loose because he had switched the mouse and the joystick
back and forth so much. So if your mouse connector is steadily in the
plug and the problem still occurs your mouse port might be out of
order. Or maybe the problem is with the mouse itself or its connector.

I wouldn't buy that from him. But who knows ;).
