Well, my suggestion is to turn it off. In fact, this is what I have done on
mine. The bad news is that I cannot tell you where exactly to go. Since my
laptop has a hardware button that turns it on or off. But if I would have a
guess I will check on the control pannel under keyboard and mouse or something
similar. But sorry I cannot help you further.

Subject: recommended setting for jaws and touch pad on laptops?
Hi to all, as my subject says, I have a laptop running Windows Vista Home
Premium Jaws 12 and it's a Toshiba but I don't know the model of the make i'm
afraid. Anyway The other day I decided I fancyed sitting on my bed doing some
writing for one of my assignments for my college course. I got all comfortable
when guess what? No surprise really I was typing away when all of a sudden I
must have touched the track pad and moved the mouse pointer somewhere and that
in turn put me somewhere up at the top of the document again. I also get this
happening when I'm at college but luckly I have someone on hand a support
worker and they tell me that it has jumped up again or down or which ever way
you look at it. So for now I decided to go back to my main computer because
when I am typing on my own I will not notice it until I do a say all or arrow
and then I get completely confuse. So the question I would like to ask for
those who use laptops what is a recommended setting for jaws and the trackpad?
Is it best to either completely disable it or, ajust the sensitivity of it?
Even if I ajusted the sensitivity I would like to know what does this do to the
mouse pointer visually.
Also when all of you guys give your views, I would appreciate if you can out
line the steps that you take to perform the action.
I realise that this is not a nesacary jaws issue but it's one that I would like
to sort out and be more aware of because after all I would like to sit
somewhere else other than at my main computer and use a laptop to type without
the hassle of jumping cursers.
I look forward to your answers.
Thanks
Daniel
