Well, low and behold, I think that's it. I didn't turn the mouse pad off, but rather have made a conscious effort not to rest my wrists on the pc while typing. Don't I feel like a ninny. I was getting incredibly frustrated. I'll probably go and disable the mouse pad though.

Are you using a laptop? If so, there is a chance that your thumbs or hands are touching the mouse pad. If the mouse pad is set to "click" when you lift your finger, you might be accidently moving the mouse. On most laptops there is a way to turn the mouse pad off. Turn JAWS off and have a sighted person use the computer and see if they have the same problem. At some point I had a brand new laptop with the mouse pointer embedded into the keyboard between the G and H keys that had a short in it.

I'm having one issue that I'm not sure what may be wrong or if I've got some setting that needs adjusting. When composing or replying to a message, the window seems to jump around on me. If it's a new email, I'll be typing and after a few words, I'll find myself in either the start menu or desktop, same message window's subject field or main Outlook list view. I'm always having to alt tab back to the message window or tab down from the subject field to get back to where I want to type. When replying to an email, I'm always being placed in the original email text below. Again, this is after typing a few words. I don't' know what I may or may not be doing and have to the best of my knowledge checked and unchecked whatever necessary checkboxes in order for JFW to better interact with Outlook. I thought I'd ask around here to see if anyone else is experiencing this or if they had any ideas? I'm writing this message on my old machine since the jumping around is making it nearly impossible for me to compose a message on my new one.
