The problem is that I can't move my mouse anymore. It just happened without it falling or anything like that. And no, it's not because the ball from the mouse is dirty, and is not a moment of freezing. And I sure didn't pul out the mouse wire. So what else could be the problem? Please answer fast, it's getting really annoying not being able to move my mouse! I hardly got here to write this question!

Boot into safe mode and see if the mouse is working. Look in device manager for a yellow exclamation mark next to your mouse. Select the mouse and click uninstall in the toolbar.( If you have more than one listing for mouse then uninstall all).
Restart your system.

Try setting your bios to "Fail Safe Defaults". Save and restart.

If this doesn't work, then your mouse is most probably dead.

You should try disconnecting your mouse and turn your computer off. Then connect your mouse again and see if that helps. If it doesnt work at all, then something is wrong with the connection.

To check if its the connection, try putting a different mouse in there and see if that works. Sometimes a mouse can go bad.

Explanation: The mouse is not working at all. The system is not recognizing its existence and its drivers are not loading.

Diagnosis: This is of course sometimes caused by physical problems: the mouse cannot be seen because it is not connected. Using the wrong driver can cause problems on occasion. For serial mice, the problem is often trouble with the serial port itself.

Recommendation:

Make sure that the mouse is connected physically to the correct port and that it is not loose.
Check the mouse wire to make sure it has not been excessively twisted, bent or damaged in any way.
If you have another mouse that you can try in place of this one, try swapping them and see if the problem goes away. Similarly, you might want to try your mouse on another PC and see if it works. (Remember that drivers are often specific to certain types of mice; you want to swap with another mouse of the same type, using the same interface, either serial or PS/2).
If you are using a PS/2 style mouse, make sure it is not connected to the (identically-sized) PS/2 keyboard connector. This of course will also make the keyboard not work properly.
If you are using a serial mouse, you may have a problem with the serial port itself. Resource conflicts and other problems with the serial port are fairly common. Look here.
If you just upgraded your motherboard and now your mouse is not visible, a likely cause is that you left the old cables that attached from the serial port connectors to the motherboard headers in place. These cables are not universal, and you might now have the wrong kind installed for your new motherboard.
If you are using a PS/2-style mouse, remember that the mouse uses IRQ12. In some situations, this may cause a resource conflict with another device. Check here for more on resource conflicts.
If you are trying to use a PS/2-style mouse on a serial port, or a serial mouse on a PS/2 port, you must use a so-called "combo" mouse. These are specially designed to be able to handle the different electrical signals that are used by the two different mice. Some mice will fit the adapters physically but will not function correctly because they cannot handle the different signaling levels required

never and i mean never un plug a ps2 mouse while the computer is running! you run the risk of destroying the mouse port. i would try swaping it for a known good mouse with the power off of course. if that doesn't help, get a usb mouse

Try reinstalling the drivers for the mouse.
