Hello everyone. Yesterday I was using the PC, and all seemed fine. This morning however, I noticed that the virtual cursor was nowhere in evidence in explorer or my e-mail messages. Insert-z says "off", "on", etc, but doesn't actually seem to do anything. What is going on here? I thought about what I might have done to cause this problem, and the only thing I can think of is that yesterday I uninstalled some old .net components as well as old c++ runtime libraries from my computer. I got no error messages of any kind, of course, and I in fact still have newer version of the .net framework and c++ redistributable 2008 on the PC, so I didn't think this would be a problem. As far as I know, I didn't change any explorer or jaws settings. Any ideas? This is very annoying and I want my virtual cursor back. Thanks. JM
