insertion point window

[Guest mister313]

Whenever an insertion point window appears (the place where the tab is

flashing to enter information) I find that my mouse pointer must be held

within that window and not on some other part of the screen in order for the

input to begin. I'm pretty sure that the default allowed entry of characters

into that window no matter where the mouse pointer was on the screen.I

changed the default for this at some time in the past but I don't remember

how I did it. Can anyone advise?

RE: insertion point window

 

Did you try the following solution:

 

Go to Control Panel

Double/single click Mouse, and this will open Mouse Properties window

Go to Pointer Options and click "Automatically move pointer to the default

button in a dialog box"

Click OK

 

Hope this works
