There is a way to disable the mouse from clicking, while still allowing movement. This is what I have, and I think there is a setting buried deep in control panel.

I did the same on my Dell lap top as I kept touching it by mistake. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Soronel Haetir Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2011 6:58 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: recommended setting for jaws and touch pad on laptops? I simply disable the touch-pad. My hp laptop has a tray icon that can do that, so giving steps wouldn't be of much use to you. Probably not a good answer if anyone else uses the laptop.

Anyway The other day I decided I fancyed sitting on my beddoingsome writing for one of my assignments for my college course. I got allcomfortable when guess what? No surprise really I was typing away when allof a sudden I must have touched the track pad and moved the mouse pointer somewhere and that in turn put me somewhere up at the top of the document again. I also get this happening when I'm at college but luckly I have someone on hand a support worker and they tell me that it has jumped upagain or down or which ever way you look at it. So for now I decided to goback to my main computer because when I am typing on my own I will notnotice it until I do a say all or arrow and then I get completely confuse.So the question I would like to ask for those who use laptops what is a recommended setting for jaws and the trackpad? Is it best to either completely disable it or, ajust the sensitivity of it? Even if I ajustedthesensitivity I would like to know what does this do to the mouse pointer visually. Also when all of you guys give your views, I would appreciate if you canoutline the steps that you take to perform the action.I realise that this is not a nesacary jaws issue but it's one that I wouldlike to sort out and be more aware of because after all I would like tositsomewhere else other than at my main computer and use a laptop to type without the hassle of jumping cursers. I look forward to your answers.
