Vista service pack 2 screws up my laptop

When vista service pack 2 is installed my laptop pointing device goes daft
and does not work properly it draws squares on the desktop and clicking on
the screen brings up the properties box as if you were using the right hand
mouse button, the laptop also locks up, the cure is pressing control alt and
delete and everything works as should until next restart.
It takes 2 days to set this thing up with all the updates then when you have
them installed it screws it up.
How a company gets away with churning out rubbish and charging you for it
I'll never know.

Copied �esponse from PA Bear -

I have uninstalled my vga drivers and re-installed them uninstalled my mouse
drivers and re-installed to no avail.
Tried the support centre but it asks for my Windows product ID, I read it
from the bottom of the laptop but windows does not recognise it, it is a Acer
which has automatic install. No help at all
I am going to re-install windows and block updates.
