bizarre mouse click problem

Bizarre problem with an external mouse (Intellimouse explorer 4.0 / USB) on my Latitude D610 notebook. left mouse clicks are not detected unless I click and hold the button for .5 sec or longer. I thought it was a bad mouse so I bought a new one, same problem. Tried various USB ports, etc. Problem seems to have appeared when I installed USB drivers for my phone (Nokia 6236i), so I uninstalled them and cleared any related registry entries. But drivers are installed on another system and problem does not exist there. Problem is not hardware related as it works fine under OSX and Linux.

Thoughts other than reload the OS?
 
Dell doesn't supply install media, only their own repair disks that wipe everything and restore the original factory config. I do have a volume license install disc of XP, but no key. Can I somehow extract the currently used key?
