    I should imagine the mouse pointer is just off screen, wiggle it around and it will appear. Go into control panel, mouse, Pointer options and place a tick against the option, show mouse pointer when I click Ctrl. This way it will be very hard to lose it again.

    Alternatively of course, the mouse is a relatively new addition to the use of computers, although you youngsters have grown up with nothing else, and you can well do without a mouse - just learn the keyboard keys, like AltFC for closing a window, AltFX for exiting a program and to get to turning off computer, Ctrl Shift Delete
