Have you scanned your computer for viruses? You could have a trojan horse, and the person that created it could have designed it to screw with the settings of the screen, as in change resolution, hide the mouse etc. Either that, or your graphics card could be messing up with old age, and could be also causing problems with your screen, It happened to my friend, and he had to get a new one.

Is it BlueTooth? Wireless? Or wired?
If it's plain wireless, make sure there are no other wireless input devices in range. Bluetooth? Make sure your Bluetooth adapter isn't being used other than for your input devices. Wired? Check the connections.
For laser mouses, make sure the lens are clean of dust, and other particles. For Optical, the same, make sure the lens are clean, for both laser and optical, make sure that the surface is smooth, and clean.
For ball mouses,make sure you clean the ball, and the track wheels.
If nothing above helps, double check that your input devices are not faulty, by checking them on different computers, or try another set on your computer, if possible.

When I first got my motherboard it did that when the laser mouse was in the din slot now i changed it to the usb slot and it does that once in a while. also it'll do that on a laptop so i'll scan it or something.
