Thanks Jeffrey that did the trick, rename, uninstall, reboot. nice and simple
and didn't require bringing up my greatest enemy Regedit.

Another way to fix it-

For some reason, I couldn't uninstall the errant driver. But I *could*
update/replace it. So I simply mapped it to a conventional Logitech PS2
driver and voila, all is well.

I found a solution. So far this has worked for me.

STEPS:
1. Open "My Computer" and go to the following location
C:\windows\system32\drivers.

2. Find a file named "idcphid.sys" and rename it to "idcphidMODIFIED"

3. Now uninstall the "IdeaCom HID Touch Screen (PS/2)" driver under
"Human
Interface Devices" in "Device Manager" (Device Manager can be found
under
"Control Panel" > "Administrative Tools" > "Computer Management")

4. Your computer will require a restart. After the restart completes
your
problem should be fixed.

POSSIBLE EXPLANATION:
If you JUST uninstall the driver under "Human Interface Devices" it
will
find the driver after the first reboot and reinstall itself. A second
reboot
will show that your mouse is not working again.

By renaming or deleting the "idcphid.sys" file it can't reinstall
itself
apparently.

It was installed and it messed up my touchpad and pointer.
I have tried to uninstall via the Device Manager but each time
I do
it keeps reinstalling itself.

How do I remove this software?
It is not in the Add/Remove.

Device Manager, Roll-Back Driver.

Otherwise...

Go to Dell, get the latest driver for your device(s) and install
them.

Always go back to those who support said hardware for thehardware
device
drivers. Always ignore hardware drivers for non-microsoft
products from
Microsoft. IMHO.

the driver won't roll back or uninstall and dell has no mouse
driver updates..the only solution as I see it is to install a new
usb mouse instead...even uninstalling the windows update from
add/delete doesn't help...
