It sounds like something was missing in the reinstallation procedure. HERE is the Dell reinstall procedures - check them over and see if you missed anything.
On almost all Dell reinstalls there are chipset drivers, which among other things define what is on or attached to the motherboard. It sounds like the chipset drivers were omitted. In general, the reinstallation sequence is (1) Install Windows (2) Install chipset drivers (3) Install device drivers (e.g. sound video, etc).

See the discussion and fix on THIS site. It appears to be the infrared controller and it was not installed when you did the reinstallation.
