Hi, It's always recommended to backup your data before doing this but, to be honest, I've done it many, many times without backing up and have never had any problems. Now that I've said that, I'll probably have an issue next time. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Apr 18, 2014

Hi Jane, Out of curiosity, have you checked your cursor tracking settings? It sounds like your VO cursor might be routed to your mouse pointer. This is just a guess but it might be worth a look before you go the route of a reinstall. HTH Cara :) --- iOS design and development - LookTel.com -

No, it shouldn't affect anything like that. The registration is already attached to your machine so it will not be lost. If these other machines are no longer yours, or no longer functioning, let me know and I'll help you reauthorize them so you have more available authorizations. Later... T

Hi, That should be the one. It's starting to look like you may need to do a re-install. I wouldn't go the total clean install route yet. You could try the "Re-install" option in the Recovery partition. This would install the newest MacOS onto your system, hopefully fixing any issues that ex
