Just a wild guess, but you may have lost a cluster on the hard drive that contained the Windows ini file or part of the register.
The mouse may have blown at a critical moment that messed up that cluster, (or sector).
You may have to do a scandisk with a complete surface check and see if there is a permanent problem or it was transient.

Harvey,
Now that everything is working well, do you recommend I do the scandisk to identify any issues?

David,
This is late in regards to your challenge, but when that happened to ME I simply turned the thing off and did a cold boot. All was well.
Sometimes, memory can become corrupt or unstable a well.( Much as happens to my own :'-( ) and will cause the problem you described. I'm glad you got it taken care of.
