Nope. Only new thing is the CPU. (Was 1-core, now 2-core.) Since I did
that, the existing drivers don't work reliably any more...

Much faster if specific keyboard shortcuts exist - but if they don't,
it's better than having to reboot the entire PC to get control back
[quitting POV-Ray in the process].

Last time my mouse ran the batteries flat (and I didn't have charged spares)
I used the machine for the rest of the day with no mouse. It wasn't
difficult. There are enough shortcut keys built into windows to navigate
most apps (unless you're doing some photoshop or 3d modeller work)

Alt+Space IIRC.

OK. I'll bite. Then why did you reinstall Windows?

I wouldn't be surprised if the "accessibility" features allow it.

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

I was hoping to - get this - improve stability...

Wow, and I didn't even have to boot Windows up. Of course, it helps that
the same keystroke does the same thing in GNOME. ;-)

I suggest the following:
- Upgrade your BIOS if you haven't already, most MoBo(MotherBoard)
manufacturers recommend you to do so when you upgrade from 1 to 2 or
from 2 to 4. This is not very important, but is recommendable to avoid
incompatibility issues and maybe to add small/big improvements to your
MoBo functionality.
- Check in the BIOS Setup a option for "USB Mouse Support" if it has one.
- Download new drivers or use the current ones, just don't configure all
the buttons or set them to do nothing and configure the 3 buttons you
use to work as you have now, but probably you wont have to do anything
as those 3 buttons defaults are good enough, except maybe the
middle/third one. I don't think it would be too hard to do.
- You said you put some new software, what software? new version
Windows? if so that maybe is the reason.

After many weeks of searching (!), I finally found a USB to PS/2 adaptor
and plugged my mouse back into the PS/2 port. So far it was worked
utterly flawlessly ever since. Go figure!
