WMC (Win 7) on Screen controls issue

When I try to play recorded TV, or Music, or Live TV I use a USB mouse to click the pause, stop, skip etc. Out of the Blue, when I open WMC- Recorded TV - then select a recorded show- play does nothing. I am able to start playback by right clicking my systray icon for WMC but I am not able to stop playback with the control button in WMC. If I click >! (which should skip ahead 30 seconds) it will skip but remain selected so other controls do not work. I have tried using trackpad with the USB mouse disconnected but this did not help. Also once playback begins the control menu does not disappear as it has in the past
I also tried playback of music and live TV with similar results. Then problems persist when using the notebook display (1080) as well as via HDMI to a Sony 720 TV
1. I tired reinstalling WMC + I see no related issue in Media Center Log
2. I have a 2 month old system image (I know WMC functioned fine with this image) which I used to restore my C: partition
1+2 made no difference
Computer is an Asus Notebook - G73JH - Win 7 Home SP1 (all updates applied) Video card is ATI 5870M
Thanks in advance for any advise!
