Yes, I never intentionally made the change, although obviously I did make
it. At least I will know what to do if it happens again. I stored your
message in my Jaws tips folder because I don't want to rely on my memory for
these things.

that is only an apparent problem, because you altered the cursors in
mid-quest. It is confusing, like many other things to do with JAWS
settings; but the way to resolve it is to set and forget the cursors so
that JAWS Cursor WILL NOT FOLOW the PC Cursor, and leave well enough alone
until and unless by changing you know what you are doing. (It can happen
accidentally, and is very off-putting. That's how I know about it.)

Thank you, Flor,
You solved the left mouse click problem. Here's a curious hing though. I
had both IE and Firefox open. For no particular reason, I went to IE to
try to pay the tax bill. I followed your suggestion, but IE threw me into
Firefox. I then tried to pay the tax bilkl through FF, and it worked
perfectly.
Thanks,S

You may have set the JAWS Cursor to follow the PC cursor. To change
that, so that you get the default, JAWS Cursor not to follow, pres
ctrl+insert+NumpadMinus twice quickly. press this again if it is not
toggled the first time. .

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Focus issue/problem
Hi listers,
I'm using a laptop with Vista and Jaws 12, the initial release. I've
recently encountered a problem that may not be a focus issue at all,
but I don't know what else to call it. When I route the PC cursor to
the Jaws cursor and do a left mouse click, I get tossed out of my
location and put, usually, back on the desk top. So, I have no way to
do the left mouse click which is a partifcular problem because I need
to pay my property taxes, and the site has some controls that don't
respond to regular Jaws commands. I'm guessing that I changed something
to cause this, but I sure don't know what that would be.
One other piece of info is that when I'm in my windows mail inbox, the
jaws and page down keys used to tell me how many messages were in the
list. Now Jaws just says ind...
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Shari
