    Sounds to me like a PC game called Virus (not the David Braben game) in which you flew around a 3D representation of your hard disk. If the virus spreads into your system files, odd things start to happen like you lose mouse control.

    2) starting way too many programs at windows boot time
    3) infected with a virus. Do an online scan - try panda antivirus.
