So as to attempt to get a better understanding of such matter, you might
want to look into the JAWSKey+r dialogue of types of cursor restriction
settings. JAWS works so well in most programs that hardly any
alterations are needed for normal oparations; at least I believe so.

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
