Hi Darren, O believe that the option you checked to "Show Universal Access status in the menu bar" is meant to display your current settings for information purposes rather than provide a short menu of options you can change. I have this option selected to check status, for example, when I activate features like Mouse Keys and want to check whether they are turned on or off. If you actually want to change the options that are dimmed, after you navigate to this menu with VO+mm, press "u" to navigate to the "Universal Access Preferences…" menu option, which should be undimmed, then press "Return". This should bring up the "Universal Access" menu under "System Preferences", and you can make any changes that you want there.
HTH.
