What's the brand and model of the computer ?

PS/2 or USB mouse and keyboard ? If wireless check the batteries.

Try to plug a wired mouse (if USB doesn't work try PS/2) to one of the rear ports of the computer so that you can turn the computer off the normal way. Else hold the power button down until the computer shuts down (not recommended, you'll lose the info that wasn't saved on the hard drive).

Replug your mouse and keyboard (if USB plug them on rear USB ports) and turn the computer back on.
