Computer not responding to mouse button clicks

Okay, I was able to open FCP 6.0.5, but suddenly, I'm able to move the mouse arrow around but the mouse buttons aren't responding seconds after I launch the application. I saved the project by typing in control + s, then forced quit out. Then, I noticed I couldn't select anything on my desk top after that, but again, the mouse arrow still moves around. I tried the following:

1. Zapping the RAM with control + option + p+ r, restarting seven times
2. Running Disk Warrior, first aid and verified disk permissions, which said "looks ok"
3. Restarting several times
4. Trashing perfs (recently did this)
5. Limiting to operating one application at a time

...and nothing worked. Suggestions?

Could this be one of the new mac viruses I've heard about?

10.5.7, mac intel pro dual core 2.66 x2, 8 gigs ram, 55 gigs left on a 230 gig hard drive, just replaced the graphics card to a radeon 3784/512 ram... would that matter?

Thank you.

Tried switching out the mouse yet?

No. Though the term "virus" gets thrown around inapplicably sometimes, there are still no Mac viruses.

Unless you count "This is the honor-system virus. Please forward this email to everyone you know, then delete all your files. Thanks!"

Take it to an Apple store or service technician.

Smart thing to do is pull all peripherals and try a different mouse first.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

Tried two different mice, it's not the mouse. Any other suggestions before I lug this heavy desk top to the apple store for the third time?

Thank you.

You tried an different USB port? Install any software just prior to this happening?
