What color desktop do you use?
If it's black, it could just be the monitor settings.
Otherwise, I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling your mouse drivers.

A few possible options:
- If the mouse has a removable ball (usually if the mouse is fairly old) it may be down to dust and dirt stopping the sensors detecting the upwards movement.
#solution#
Spin the cover over the ball and remove the ball itself, then with tweezers very carefully remove any dirt on the spinning wheels.
- As spinner suggested re-install the mouse drivers
- If the 'mouse' is infact a touchpad on a laptop, simply restarting the laptop will sort the issue temporarily.
