    I solve my own problems once again!!! LOL - im beginning to second guess you technecks out there!?!?!(i should remember the past help though right? :)
    Well for those experiencing same problems it seems to be a corrupt driver or something.
    My solution:
    -Device Manager - uninstall all mouse/and pointing devices
    -Reboot - at start up Windows detected absence of drivers, so re-installed its own, i think.
    -Installed Synaptics Dell driver again.> reboot.
    Voila! Problem solved.
    I now know what to do when this happens again. Cos its happened twice now, so the best solution is probably to find out what causes this malfunction.
    Anyone able to shed some light? (i hope i don't find myself answering this question too - that would really do great for my self esteem! :D
