James,It's in the control panel, I think you can access it through the mouse setting or the accessibility section. My sighted husband kept leaving jaws off on my computer so I finally got mad and switched the mouse to a left handed user. It took him an hour to figure out what was wrong. (grin) Unfortunately, I missed it because I was in class at the time.

Odd. I worked for Dell and hadn't heard of that. There's probably a way to do it. Ah well, since they're both turned off in the CMOS it's kind of a moot point anyway.

In the case of the Dell these two hardware items were set to compliment each other. Disabling one automatically enabled the other, so could not resolve the problem that way. Only solution was to disable in CMOS.

In device manager. But the result's still the same anyway.

I had my sighted ITguy disable these in the CMOS setup. Now I never have a problem with them.Of course it also means that someone else trying to help me on my laptop is mystified why they don't work, and we need to plug in an external mouse, butthat's a very small price to pay for "no more jumping cursor".

Does that make any sense?

I'm not exactly surewhat's causing the other issue, though granted that's largely because I haven't bothered to troubleshoot it.

Doesn't happen to me except very rarely with JAWS 9. Perhaps this isalso related to the video chip involved? I do always have (and will probably always have) the issue with sticky keys,such as Alt or Ctrl being "stuck" and needing to press rapidly to clear. Iguess this was never resolved since back in the days of JAWS 3 and 4. Ah, well...

I have the same problem from time to time, often when replying to or otherwise sending an email. Same thing occasionally when closing IE, and other programs. I'm running the latest build of JAWS 9.

One of the reasons I dumped JAWS 10 and went back to JAWS 9. I was constantly having problems in IE as well.

It's pretty casual about what it reads--often the screen I just closed, as though it were still open. At 10:01 AM 6/12/2009, you wrote:Jaws professional 10.0.1511 with Vista ultimate and Office 2007. While in Outlook I respond to a message. Hit alt s to send and Jaws leaves me at a blank screen. I always have to alt tab back into outlook. This strange occurance also happens in several other applications. It especially occurs when I alt f4 out of a program.
