Mouse doesn't work on Word after Vista update

Vista updated overnight and now my mouse (external or mouse pad)
doesn't work on Word. I can close the window with the mouse, but it
doesn't even show in the document itself. When I close the window, I
get a message that Word keeps crashing, but Microsoft doesn't come up
with a fix. It suggested I run a Windows diagnostic program, which
turned up no problems. Any suggestions? I'm a little hampered since
I'm composing this from work on a different machine.

Hi there,

You probably took in a driver from Windows Update which is not a good idea.

Drivers if they are REALLY needed to be updated because the hardware is not
working well should only be taken from the manufacturers website.

You can try rolling back on the driver of the hardware that has the problem
or use system restore in safe mode and restore to a date before the problem
occured.

Good Luck and best regards,

Michel Denie
