My suggestion is that the PS/2 mouse controller has gone bad.  I had a
friend with the same problem with the same kind of machine about four years
ago (I begged him not to buy it).  I'm sorry, but they are very finicky and
did not last well.  I hope this is not your problem, but it is something you
might want to consider.
