Hi Randy and Ray,
Just found out from my friend that if you're using JAWS, you hit insert F-11 to
go into the systems tray. There are up and down arrow choices, and one of them
is to disable the mouse pad. That's what you want to say yes to. Essentially,
when you're using the keyboard that comes on the lap top, you first have to
disable a sort of pad usually to the left of the keyboard in order to make it so
a user of your computer can't use a mouse on that pad. Hope this helps.
Linda G.

I had the same problem on my laptop. There's a little thing that senses
movement or something and it jumps around whenever it sees your hands move.
I guess sighted people like it. I had mine turned off at some expense but I
don't know how it was disabled. I feel your frustration. I hated that
thing. I hope I didn't pay much for it. The computer works fine once it's
gone.
Use of an external keyboard is another solution.

Randy, there is a way to turn that feature off. I don't remember how to do
it
since I haven't had a lap top but I can ask a friend of mine who has access
to
computer help when she needs it. This is probably a pretty simple question
for
anyone who has used a lap top, which is what my friend has.

Hi, Randy,
Are you still on the blind computer users list? You could post your question
there.
