mouse isnt working

im currently running Mandrake Linux 9.2
and i havent used it for a while, i usualy dont use anything besides my laptop, and i went to use it, and my mouse wasnt working. its a USB optical microsoft mouse, the same one thta was there when i installed it, and it worked then. i also tried to a regualr ps/2 mouse, and that didnt work either
does anyone know what could have happened?

p.s. i have tested both mice on other pcs and they both work fine

thanks

Any number of things could've happened, but to get it working try setting it up in MCC again, you should be able get there using the keyboard.
