Have you changed your location in control panel?

DrHesjay: thanks..
pls how do I go abt the recovery software n stuff..

There are lots of recovery software out there, but if you can lay your hands on File scavenger it will do you a whole lot of good, it is lite, less complicated and does the job well.

It was booting and my little sis wanted to shut it down and used the ON button and it hanged I had to remove the battery so it would off and since then normal
booting has been a problem

Google on how to get into safe mode,
then test the mouse. if it works in safe mode, then it
is a windows problem. At the same use google to
research on how to get to device manager and check mice and
other pointing device for any exclamation mark. what is the make and model
of the laptop. windows vista or windows 7
