Powerpoint crashes with "sdt1c.dll" and "Kernel32.dll" errors

Windows XP 32Bit
Powerpoint 2007

Powerpoint crashing either on start up or when trying to print. The guilty file being either kernel32.dll or sdt1c.dll. Repair and reinstall not useful.

Further investigation reveals that sdt1c.dll is a Dell printer driver file. Tried removing this Dell printer and now Powerpoint works without trouble.

Reinstall the printer with the latest drivers downloaded from Dell website.
