Computer question: mouse icon disappears from screen?

Occasionally, the mouse icon on my screen simply disappears. Cannot get it back. Cannot do a thing except shut off the computer and then re-start. Is there a simple reason why this happens? And when it does happen, is there a way to reestablish the icon on the screen without closing down and restarting? Sorry, but I'm not too 'computer aware', so if there is a solution, I would really appreciate a detailed solution, in laymens terms. Thanx.

    Hmm... REFORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE!

    No maybe you should try to unplug/plug again. You could try to get new drivers but i'm not quite sure how you would do this based on operating system. Maybe you just have an old mouse and it is nearing the end of it's useful life. Good luck!
