Chip,
Most Dell notebooks have a function key combo that will enable and
disable the touchpad. Unfortunately, Dell hasn't settled on a standard
command, so the hotkey varies from one machine to the next. On my 1420,
I believe FN+F4 toggles the pad.

Thanks Steve, great minds think a like, as I did do that, although it
was against my will. I wish I had a temporary way to disable it, so
that if my sighted wife goes to use it it will work for her; I have a
Dell inspiron though, and haven't found a key combination which lets
me temporarily disable the touchpad, so I did do it permanently, and
she's got to struggle with the keyboard to try and get it enabled for
her to use it or help me.
thanks.

Chip,
Try disabling your touchpad. I have to do this on any laptop I use
since the stupid thing always ends up clicking me into other windows.
Regards,
Steve

Richard,
I want to see if your new problem is the same as the one I have
on my laptop:
Do you often hear the word "left", and then find the text you've
been typing is all scrambled, because the insert pointer has
jumped all around, and you've been typing different bits into
different locations of the message or of the file?
I have been intermittently plagued by a problem like this, and it
has the feel as if someone has been grabbing the mouse pointer
and clicking all around in the window I'm working in. hearing
the word "left" randomly spoken is my only clue.
I thought this was a malfunction in the mousepad of my laptop,
but maybe not if you're having the exact same problem.
thanks.

*Subject:* WE7.1 AND WESERV.EXE
Hi,
After stating categorically last night that I was having few
problems, I've now hit one and am regretting tempting fate!
<smile>
This morning, I installed an update to the Webbie package
and, since then, something appears to be grabbing focus every
few seconds, eg as though a process is kicking into life in
the background. For example, when in Outlook 2007, both
whilst reading a message or simply on the message list, the
word "graphic" will be spoken periodically. When in Windows
Explorer and arrowing up or down a list of files, the file
onto which I'm arrowing doesn't speak but some other
information is spoken. At this point, the only applications
which are running are Outlook 2007, Live Messenger and
Windows Explorer -- as well, of course, as WE7.1!
I've unloaded WE and loaded another screenreader and looked
at the running processes in Task Manager and see that
WESERV.EXE is present.
Is this process connected with WE, please, and, if so, should
it still be loaded/running when WE isn't? Alternatively,
I've seen some references from a Google search suggesting it
may be a trojan etc.
This is under XP Home, SP3.
Any suggestions gratefully received before I go ahead with
various remedies, eg removing the WESERV.EXE process and/or
uninstalling Webbie.
Thanks in advance.
