Paul,
It is also worth having a look at your system tray with Insert+F11 - there
is sometimes mention of the touch pad or glide pad on this and, if so, it
should allow you to turn it on or off.
What operating system are you using? I ask as we should be able to point
you to where to turn it on or off within the Control Panel but getting there
will depend on the operating system you have.

: Paul, if you do have a glide pad, it's likely to be just above these two
buttons.

: Thanks Jamie,
:
: Well at the bottom centre of the netbook casing are two plastic buttons
: which I think are used in the way you would use a mouse on a desktop
: computer.
:
: I wasn't touching these when I was typing away but do occasionally touch

I
: had encountered a problem.
:
: Of course I may not in fact have a glide pad on my netbook.

:: Hi Paul,
::
::
:: It is possible that your netbook doesn't have one but most laptops and
:: netbooks have a small window (for want of a better description) at the
:: bottom centre of the keyboard, just below where your thumbs are when you
: are
:: typing.
::
::
::
:: A sighted user can use the glide pad as an alternative to using a mouse.
: It
:: is a touch sensitive area which can be used to move the mouse pointer
: around
:: on the screen, hence the possible suggestion that I gave you.
::
::
::
:: It is possible to turn this off entirely but another option which I have
:: seen quite a lot is to stick a piece of cardboard over it to prevent this
:: kind of accidental problem occuring.
::
::
::
:: Hope this helps.

::: Hi all,
:::
::: Using JAWS 12 on a dell netbook with either IE7 or 8.
:::
::: I was away over the weekend and used my Netbook to go onto facebook.
:::
::: I have a dongle which I used and whilst I was abel to access Facebook
::: without any difficulties, I did encounter one problem.
:::
::: Whenever I wanted to comment on a status, or update my own status, I
: found
::: that aftger typing only a few words, I would lose focus and end up
: usually
::: on the desktop. At one point, when I atempted to write a comment, the
:: page
::: I was on ended up being minimised and all I could hear JAWS saying was
: the
::: address of the facebook page I was on.
:::
::: Sometimes, alt tabbing back to the page sorted the problem out but other
::: times, it didn't.
:::
::: I've never had this problem before whilst on the internet with my
netbook
::: and so if anyone can possibly shed any light on this and tell me how to
::: correct this rather anoying glitch, then please do let me know.
:::
::: Regards
:::
::: Paul.
