Can’t reinstall from the install disk?

This had a surprising answer.  It was the mouse!  ”Turned out to be a really simple fix. A few of the strange behaviors made me think it might have something to do with my mouse. Sure enough, I switched out my mouse and everything is working fine. I guess my old mouse (a 3rd party mouse by Evoluent) went haywire.”  You rarely suspect that kind of problem for this issue.  I was wondering if it might be some kind of damage like a disk or something.

Is your Mac not being woken up when you move your mouse?

It happened to one gentleman here. If this happened with a bluetooth mouse I might suspect there is a problem with interference or perhaps a corrupt mouse/bluetooth plist.   If it happened with a a wired mouse I would suspect a problem with PRAM which it turned out to be.  Thanks Gilles99!  You can find out more details about PRAM in this Apple article.
