Try going to START/ SETTINGS / CONTROL PANEL/ MOUSE
Choose the POINTER tab at the top, clik BROWSE, then double clik on a new pointer. Clik APPLY, then OK
Hope that helps.

Mouse problem
We had a similar problem and it drove us nuts........until I decided to update the video driver (just in case). My thought process led me to believe the mouse cursor is a graphical app. Our problem was solved immediately. (cant hurt to try it)

yeah
It's sounds like the vid driver.

i agree with KorpDeath.
uninstall you vid driver and re-install it.

Video drivers
Firstly you need to find out what sort of video card (or onboard chip) you have.
You should get the correct info from Start->Settings->Control Panel. Choose System & then Device Manager. Click on the '+' next to Display adapters and that should tell you the type of video card.
To download a new driver you need to go to the site of the guys who produced the video card/chip, and download their latest driver. They should have a help file to tell you how to instal the updated driver (varies a bit depending on who it is).
Don't know what else you have installed recently, but if you play games on your PC, most current games require & will instal DirextX 8.0a, which in turn will require an up to date video driver for everything to work correctly.
btw removing your video driver is very easy - just click on Remove when you are in Device Manager/Display adapters. I have never known this to cause a problem, because when you restart your system PnP will detect 'new hardware' and reinstall the original driver. And given the strange way that most Windows systems work, just doing this can sometimes cure this type of problem
