What is the proper setting for this option? Now that I've fooled around with 
it, I can't remember what it was set on originally...and since I'm not having 
any trouble with it, I figured I should probably leave it where it was! 
Thanks.

  Bill,

  The choices are "off" "on", "Off for all applications", and "on for all 
applications".

  Pressing JAWS+Z quickly brings up the ...for all applications, and pressing 
JAWS+Z singly brings up on/off.

  "On" implies auto.

    Hi, Robert.  I just tried depressing Jaws Key +Z three times, and I didn't 
get any auto mode.  All it said was, either: Vertual Cursor will be turned on 
for all applications, or alternately: Vertual Cursor will be turned off for all 
applications.  How do you get to this auto mode?

    Thank you in advance.

      I recently discovered it. If you hit it a third time, at least with 
version 10 it turns on an auto mode and this seems to work.

        What's insert z? I know it toggles virtual pc cursor on and off, but 
what does that mean? Which way should it be, on or off? 
        What else can insert z be used forbe used for? 
        Thanks.

          I've had this problem. I fixed it by pressing insert z several times.

            I ran into an issue today that I've never seen before. At my 
college the computers that have jaws on them (jaws 9) would not read webpages. 
When I loaded the internet it would read the web address, but when I arrowed or 
tabbed to navigate the site, jaws would read absolutely nothing even though 
sighted people said the page was moving. The cursor was in the right location, 
and nothing if a link was clicked with the mouse. It either read nothing at 
all, or it kept repeating "open parent document" whenever I hit the arrow key 
to navigate the site. It did this on all webpages, but in no other application. 

            I am curious if anyone knows what is going on, and how I can fix 
this so I can use the internet. I had no problem prior to today, and the jaws 
hasn't been upgraded.

            Its using internet explorer and windows xp.   

            Thanks, Ben
