Is she moving the mouse without concomitant cursor movement?

If so:

- if a tracker ball style mouse, turn mouse over, remove the restraining bit of plastic round the ball (usually a disc with a hole in the middle that you turn round), pop the ball out, and clean the spindles that the ball runs against (often they get clogged up with fibres, dirt etc - just use your nails to flick it off) then pop the ball back in

- if a wireless mouse are the batteries working and is the receiver plugged in to the USB port (or whichever hole it goes into)
