How do I uninstall Tablet PC? I find it quite unneeded, and I can't help but
feel that it's what's interferring with my attempts to install my Wacom
tablet driver.

First, make sure you've got the latest drivers for your device and follow
the directions from Wacom. Second, the Tablet PC Edition on Vista is
integrated into the operating system, and on XP SP2 is a superset which runs
in conjunction with the OS. You really do not want to attempt uninstalling
either.

Is there any way to completely hide it? You know, more than just having it
sticking out the side of the screen?

If this is on Vista, you can uninstall the Tablet PC components safely by
going into Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows Features On and Off ->
Uncheck Tablet PC Optional Components.

If it's XP Tablet PC Edition then you're S.O.L. unless you reinstall XP Pro.

But I should mention that several Tablet PC developers have installed Wacom
devices on both XP Tablet and Vista with no problems. I had a problem with a
Wacom tablet on one of the Vista betas but have not tried since. I don't
believe my problem had anything to do with the Tablet PC components at all.

Thanks anyway. I sent a question about it to the people at Wacom.com. I
followed your instructions on how to take off the Tablet PC anyway, mostly
because it was just annoying for me. [shrug] Hey, that's just the way I am.
Still don't know why my Wacom tablet driver's not installing, but I'll call
my question answered anyway.

I have uninstalled Tablet PC but my laptop's intergrated mouse touch pad has
stopped working.

What do I do to get it back?

What model is the laptop? Most commonly used are either an Alps or Synaptics
touchpad, so you could either check any driver disk that came with the unit,
or just download directly from the manufacturers site if you can determine
which it is.

Is the touchpad showing up in device manager?
