In case your Mouse Pointer is not working altogether, you can use Keyboard Shortcuts to Open Mouse Properties and Navigate in the Mouse Properties Screen with the help of Tab Key. You can even switch between Tabbed Screen of Mouse Properties with the help of Control + Tab Key Combination. In case your Keyboard has Numeric Keypad, you can use it to Mouse your Mouse Pointer without connecting a Physical Mouse. In rare case, your Mouse Device Driver might get corrupted and uninstalling the Mouse Drivers and Installing them again, might help you in re-connecting your Mouse. Another final thought is to ensure that your USB Port on your Computer is working fine and if required connect to another USB Port or to a different Computer and verify that the Mouse is working fine.
