Can you describe again what the symptoms are, and whether is happens all the time, most of the time, just sometimes, or sometimes - but only when...

Have you tried adding a new test user account yet?
We need to determine if the problem is user account related, system wide or hardware. This is the first step.

Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM? - Which keyboards and mice have you tried?

Do you know how to add a new user?
PRAM - click on dewguys link. The blue sentence.
Third party software is software not from Apple or a hardware vendor. SteerMouse for example is third party software. They don't make the mouse but make software for the mouse.

Sounds like you're inexperienced in Mac troubleshooting. Is there somebody you know who is experienced with Macs that can physically help you with this? Can you take it to the AppleStore and have a Genius look at it?
