Jewel, I don't have the same scroll wheel on a keyboard as you do, but I
don't even have to touch the thing to move the cursor. I can just move my
hand about it and it will change my position.

Arianna! That is exactly what happens on my computer. That ghastly
device is activated by my
finger only being in its vacinity. I do not have to touch it!
Thank you to those who have offered advice as to how to disable, or make
it less sensitive, but
there is no reference to mouse or scroll wheel in hardware device manager,
but I will forward your
suggestions to a pal of mine who is much more computer literate than I and
see what we can come up
with.

Using a Sony Vaio laptop with one of those darned mousepads, I'v been
through the device manager mouse settings, but I don't seek disable
anywhere.
The thing drives me crazy. It moves the cursor even if I just pass over
the
area. I've run into this problem with other brands of computer also. And
there's nothing in the system tray for the mouse.

On my lap top it is in the hardware section of device manager. I can give
further directions later on when I get to it probably this afternoon at
the
earliest.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one
up
too.

Ah, now it makes some sense to me. On my laptop, I have one of those
built-in mice. All laptops are different, but on mine I press
function key with the number 2 to turn off the mouse. I've also seen
laptops that you turn off the mouse by pressing function key with #9.
You could be wreckless like me and try different key combinations
until you get it or check your user manual. Perhaps if you tell the
list what kind of keyboard you have, someone will be able to give you
the right combination.
Good luck, Betsy

Betsy! It is a desktop keyboard that I have. Sometime ago, some
other jaws-users subscriber was,
like me, being driven around the bend by this dratted wheel, and I
think, got an answer as to how it
can be killed, or, at the very least, be made less sensitive.
The little finger of my left hand, I swear doesn't touch the rotten
thing, but it, the finger, only
has to approach it which it does quite often when I am pressing keys
on the number line, and then
the cursor will, all of a sudden, have moved up a couple of
lines. Just about drives me into
insanity: not a very long journey I must admit, but a journey I am
trying, with no thanks to the
pseudo mouse, to defer for as long as is possible.

Hi Jewel,
Are you talking about a laptop or some other equipment? I've never
seen such a little wheel in that place on a keyboard.
