Hi Nancy. Here's something else you can try. Go into control pannel,
accessibility options, type "d" for display tab. Inside the display tab,
you'll find an option that has a cursor width designation. Maybe it has
been set to something like 20 or more. Reset the cursor width number to 0
or 5 or something much lower. My Outlook Express was flaking and that
totally fixed things. This works if you are running XP.

Re: Computer not tracking Jaws cursor
The problem still exists. After being out of town for a few days, let me
review what's happening.
I type a message in Outlook Express or NotePad or Microsoft Word.
I want to review what I've just typed so I arrow up. Jaws reads that
line.
I arrow down. Jaws reads the above line a second time.
If I arrow very slowly then the repetition does not happen.
Jaws tech support advised me to disable Trend Micro PC. I not only
disabled it but I uninstalled it.
The problem continues to happen.
I am using Jaws 9.0.2152. This problem was also happening with Jaws
9.0.552.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium.
I always make sure the window is maximised.
And I am speaking of the PC cursor when I refer to it as the Jaws cursor.
It does make sense that the computer is not tracking the Jaws cursor but
the question is whyand how do I fix this.
Or maybe there's another reason for this to be happening. I'm just not
sure.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Nancy

it doesn't sound like you are using the jaws cursor and neither should you
be for this. I wonder in the notepad example if the window is maximized
and if word rap is checked. I don't know what else would cause this.

Yes, Roy, whether I am in a NotePad document or a Word document or typing
a message in an email in Outlook Express, I use the arrow keys to review
line by line what I have typed.
I arrow up and Jaws reads the line.
I arrow down and Jaws reads the above line again.
Jaws tech support said it sounds like the computer is not keeping up with
the Jaws cursor.
Any ideas?
Nancy
