bluetooth mouse keeps disconnecting?

I have a microsoft bluetooth mouse which I used with a newer HP LAPTOP. I have had virtually no problems for a year with the pair. Lately the mouse will "disconnect" from the LAPTOP. It still shows up as a device in my bluetooth program, but shows "not connected". Sometimes it will reconnect if I wiggle the mouse long enough. The funny thing is that my DESKTOP PC has a usb bluetooth peripheral which I use with the mouse sometimes also (I have a DESKTOP and an HP LAPTOP). The DESKTOP pc usually has the bluetooth turned off so there is no interference. When the mouse quits working with my LAPTOP, I can turn on the bluetooth for the DESKTOP. Doing this somehow makes the LAPTOP instantly pair with the mouse again. Strange.....

PS: I have an above average understanding of computers
