Cannot select with mouse

This is peculiar:

Using Word 97 on Windows 98, occasionally the mouse
cannot be used to move the cursor, select a table cell ot
anything involving clicking in a document. The mouse
functions elsewhere such as on menus in Word and in every
other application tested, including other Office apps.

A reboot resolves this, but the problem comes back every
once in a while.

Any ideas what might cause this? the mouse is nothing
special, just a MS PS/2 wheel mouse.

This is a typical symptom of a graphics driver problem. Try checking with
the graphics card manufacturer to see if there is a newer driver.
