Old golfball type mouse cleaning drill:
- turn the mouse over and look at the ball
- around the ball turn the disk(direction marked with arrows) which will unlock it
- take out the ball
- inside the space where the ball was you will see three plastic wheels
- use your fingernail to rub off any grimy line or marks on it
- when fully clean return ball into slot
- fix back disk
good luck then

What os is it?
What happens with another mouse used?
Check to see if the contact of the wheels and ball are good, for example a wheel can slip out of its pivit still turn but not actually be touching the ball enough, unscrew the disk and turn the ball looking at the contact.

Let us pray that it is still the mouse, and not the comp, but having said that there are four routes to go down
- troubleshooting from main.cpl(mouse properties, drivers, etc.,)
- spring cleanng the comp for gliches
- repairing the system with XPcd
- restoring the system to a date previous to this problem
but before we do all that, please put my mind at rest and see if you can borrow another mouse, even just unpluging/repluging the leed might help, and if there is still the problem with the second mouse then yes I will rule the mouse itself out,
Ok, up to you:
runcommand
press: winkey + r
type: main.cpl
press: enter
click tab: hardware
click button: troubleshoot
follow the instructions given
we live in hope then.

Are you sure that the problem isn't from the mouse, because, there is only a problem if I move the mouse to certain direction, and when moving the mouse to that direction by using force, then it goes that direction, but not smoothly. I tried cleaning the ball and wheels, but still it doesn't move smoothly.
I don't have another mouse to try it on.
So could this also be a software problem?

we will know that when you have tried another mouse in its place, they are very inexpensive and easy to come by

The mouse still didn't work ok, and then I tried cleaning the wheels again. But then, all of a sudden, the mouse works ok! the mouse moves smoothly in all directions. But this was only for a while. The mouse started to pause frequently again when moving in some directions. I tried cleaning again, but the mouse still doesn't move smoothly. Why is this?

mouse wheels can come out of sink in their pivots, anyway I still say that it is best to try another mouse before you do anything else here
