It means f**k all, because it isn't a driver issue if it works to a certain point.

Check for malware/spyware as a starting point, although I have yet to encounter malware/spyware that lets you work for X minutes before it shows itself.

Broken wire in mouse lead?

Not if the driver has been corrupted by another file being installed/unistalled. a reinstall of the driver disc would resolve but it could be malware/spyware as well,

The OP has stated the mouse works fine for X minutes, which means the mouse driver is fine.
If anything could possibly be to blame, the first port of call would be the mouse itself.

Careful Eddie....Admin will be on your case in a minute for linking to pirated software  ;)

Don't go to that adult page anymore Vamps ;D
Probably trojan of some sort.
Good antivirus should be able to solve it.
Download avg (free) and make an update.
It will probably solve it
