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!

Hmmm.. I have the cheapie mouse that came with an IBM computer that has
a terrible time with it's optical sensor. Every once in a while the
cursor will jump a far distance from where I was for no good reason.
Never has happened on the various MS opticals I've used, but this one
does it repeatedly.

lol, yeah that happened to me too: at my work I'm using a USB mouse that
didn't even move when connected to the USB port but with a USB --> PS2
adapter the things is alive and kicking. Looks like the USB interface of
the mouse is not working well enough for the USB port but enough to
"hand shake" with the PS2 interface. I really would like to know why
this happens.
I loved your: "So far it was worked utterly flawlessly ever since. Go
figure!" heheheh :D
