I will look at this. But I don't touch my 'PAD," i    assure you. This isn't
the problem, I'm afraid. Thanks.

I would guess that even though your touchpad was disabled by someone a few
weeks ago, some change or update has re-enabled it.

Go to the System Tray (JAWS Insert-F11)  or Windows-B, and look for
something like "synaptics touch pad."  Open it and go to its properties, if
necessary.  On my old laptop, there was a tabbed dialog box, but Window-Eyes
had no trouble reading the buttons that allowed me to disable what I wanted
to disable.

I'm using a laptop Win XP  Home. It's begun to skip from one program to
another, usually while I'm typing in Worde or OE, but not exclusively. Three
times, already, I've a  heard a  bing! and had to alt tab back into this
message. Where have I  been taken? To the inbox, to the desktop, to
customize Word.

Any helpappreciated.
