Mouse pointer is always on busy....

I am realy not too sure what exactly is happening to my laptop as my mouse pointer has been in "busy working in the background" (it has an arrow and a glass dial) for almost four day agos. I tried to checking whether there is any unnecessary programmes running in the background but there are not. Is wanted to made it worse, it is taking a little too much time for the webpage to download. if anyone or microsoft has a solution, please notify me and I would like to try it. Thank you.
