Are you using a USB mouse? If so try a PS/2 mouse, this may fix your problem.

No reason to run out and buy a new mouse, if it's a USB Mouse check your settings according to this page.

If it's a PS/2 mouse it's probably an IRQ addressing issue with your sound card, even though PS/2 Mice are supposed to have a reserved space, it gets klugy sometimes with sound cards.

Check your BIOS for Plug and Play support, and turn it off if it's on so the BIOS assigns IRQ's
