Cursor disappears/touchpad not working

[woodyn14]

The touchpad on my laptop (hp pavilion x2) is not working, the cursor is not visible. It works perfectly well when I plug in an external mouse, however when I unplug it the cursor will freeze and when I use the touchscreen it will disappear completely. Any help?

After uninstalling the HP system utility in the control panel as directed in instructions below, I am unable to open my IE browser due to having no mouse cursor nor does my touch screen respond on the start or on the desktop page. So how do I install the recommended Chipset driver?

I am also having this problem after conducting the fix that was suggested. I need a more permanent fix. Thanks.

Good thing I didn't find anything to delete.  This is pretty pathetic.
