Internal Laptop mouse not working

Hello,

I have a Dell laptop, the internal mouse has stopped working as well as
the plug in mouse. The curser shows and moves but there is no response when I
try to click on anything. There is a short period of time when I can use it,
that is before it has finished loading all the programs when it's first
booted up. I have no clue as to how to begin to fix this without access to a
mouse. Any and all help I would be so grateful for.

Many thanks!

It might work in Safe Mode, since you say it works for a short time
during startup.. I suspect malware, but some unique software could be to
blame.

You can do most things without the mouse, using these keys:

Alt, Tab, cursor keys, spacebar, and Enter key.
