Deanne,
thank you for this information. I will check it out and hopefully it will
take care of any mouse problems.

You disabled only the touch pad. If you want to disable the mouse buttons
as well, go to Control Pannel, Mouse. The first menu you are on should be
the Buttons menu. Tab to Click Lock Turn On and check the box there.
Then Tab to Okay. This should disable your mouse buttons.

I searched for the little button on my Inspiron 1545 but had no luck in
finding it. However I did find in the control panel a mouse section and it
appears that it did turn the mouse pad off unchecking the enable button
but the left click button and the right click button right below the mouse
pad are still functioning. Is this normal if you get the mouse pad turned
off successfully or should it be completely disabled?

Josh,
I don't know if there is a way to turn the touch pad off in settings
but, there should be a very small button at the center top edge of the
touch pad that will turn it off until or unless you push that little
button again. HTH
Your friend,

Speaking of the mouse pad on laptops is there a way to turn this
feature off in settings? If I can turn it off then I can see if maybe I
am the cause of Jaws jumping around.

I have had this happen to me off and on with the past few versions of
JAWS. For me it is not a JAWS issue. I use a laptop and there is a
touch pad for visual users to use to move the mouse around. There is
also a small button just above that touch pad that turns this touch pad
on and off. If I do not have the mouse touch pad turned off and I
accidentally touch the pad while typing, browsing or anything else the
cursor will jump focus and screw me all up and put me in a place I
don't want to be. I found that as long as I keep the mouse touch pad
turned off, I never have any problems keeping focus where I want it and
everything works fine. I hope this helps.
Your friend,

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Focus issue
Sometimes when I'm writing an email, or writing in MS Word, the
cursor will jump and all of a sudden I'm typing in the middle of the
previous sentence or the previous paragraph. And I never know the
cursor has moved until I review my text and find it all mixed up. It
doesn't happen too often, but I can never figure out what makes the
cursor jump like that. Has anyone else experienced this and, if so,
is there any way to keep it from happening?
Thanks for any help,
Deanne
