Re: Sticky mouse disease.
Sometimes happens to me but I have cats. I comb them near the PC. Hairs get into my mouse from the mouse mat and also inbetween the keys on the keyboard. I have to vacumn the keyboard of crumbs and hair oftenSounds like I live in a zoo but you would be surprised how much gunge is around a static area like a PC table. I use the USB at the back of my PC for my mouse and only use the two front ones to put my cam camera for Skype or recharge my MP3 players at the front.
p.s. just told my Son and he thinks your problem is the USB and you should change which port you use often

Re: Sticky mouse disease.
You could run a check on the cpu usage at the time of stickyness. It could well be the computer is working flat out on something and it is hogging all the resources; could be why the mouse 'recovers' after a while.Press contrl and alt down together and then press the del button to bring up the taskmanager. You will end up with a cpu indicator showing on the right side of your task bar. See if this goes to full green at any time when you are working and need the mouse. You can delve into the Task Manager's innards to help find the culprit.

Re: Sticky mouse disease.
Thought i would add an update to this. The mouse problem got worse on the PC, so in desperation i actually reinstalled the software back to the original state, (XP). Then found and installed service pack 2, then downloaded service pack 3 to a USB on my laptop, then installed on PC,lost loads of photos and programmes but i wanted it cleared.Result still the same grrrrrrrrrrrr. Passing Poundstretcher went in and found an optical mouse for a £1, went home plugged it in sorted,will try the same for the lappy which is not as bad.
