Can anyone help me with an annoying computer problem? Every once in a while

my mouse refuses to go where I point it. The buttons refuse to work also. It is like it is on delayed reaction. I have to try several times to move it, then it moves OK for a while and then does it again. Same with clicking the buttons. This happens pretty much every day, once or more times a day. I am running Windows 7 and using a usb wireless mouse. I never had this problem with a wired mouse. What is causing this problem and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance for your help.

On edit, I should add that I put a fresh battery in the mouse, which did not help.
