Sounds like your mouse may be dirty.  Try getting a cleaning kit and use it.

If you're like me (i.e. cheap) then grap some rubbing alcohol, a Q-tip, and
an X-acto knife.  Open up your mouse, remove the ball, and look at the three
metal rollers.  They should be very clean and very shiny.  If they aren't,
scrape the big gunk off with the X-acto (be careful not to scratch or notch
the rollers), and finish off the stuff with the alcohol/Qtip.

Commercial cleaners consist of a fuzzy pad and a velcro ball.
