Some mousepad and mouse pointer drivers for laptops, have an option to disable them if they find another mouse driver in use. My Dell has such an option, and it's normally great, because since window eyes controls the movement of the mouse pointer, it seems to register as a mouse driver, so the mousepad is disabled when running window eyes and having this option checked. As you say though, if you want a sighted user to use the pc while window eyes is running, you'll need to find this option, and disable it, so it doesn't work like that. or, if you can't find it, you can plug in an external mouse, and have the sighted user use it, since it's only the built-in mouse device which gets disabled. hth, Chip

I have a question about the Lenovo series laptops. I'm using a Lenovo laptop with Windows XP Professional. A sighted user tried to use my computer today and they couldn't because the mouse pointer wasn't moving for some reason. And I don't know what I did to shut off the internal mouse or how to turn it back on. Any help would appreciated, though I doubt that people use the mouse on this list. You all probably use the mouse hotkeys that Window-Eyes supplies.
