More often than not, this problem is caused by a bad connection in the mouse cable. Just test the mouse cable with a multimeter for continuity at each wire. The bad connection is usually at the plug end - caused by constant bending, and/or being pulled out by the cable rather than gripping the plug.
Hope this helps...

My mouse issue disappeared as quickly as it appeared.  Not sure if it was loose connections, hardware conflict or a software issue.  I'll keep an eye on it for awhile,, thanks for the responses!

Did you check inside the mouse to see if something was stopping the wheel/shaft for that direction from turning? You might just have a dust ball inside. If that is the case, just blow the mouse out with air to make sure the problem doesn't return.
Some times the simplest problem is the culprit!
