Hi Tom,
I believe the mouse section would be quite a visual area, where you
might need sighted help. One thing you might have a sighted person do is
turn the mouse sensitivity down to the point that doesn't move. I don't
know what affect that has on JAWS. Also, there might be different settings
for the built in mouse and the external mice. I am on a desk top computer
so I don't know how this works on a portable.
God bless,
Mark WZ0K
God loves you!
