Hi Lisa,
try in Computer menu, System configuration -  Networking for Dialup setup


Mouse try  open a terminal, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
setup mouse in there. ps2, serial and usb all work for me OK.
Ubuntu works with "sudo"  and your password. One action at a time.
Take Care
Winton
