My mac is talking to me...

[tlawski]

Yeah, thats right. It's talking to me. Everytime I click on something it tells me exactly where I am. I suspect this has something to do with somekind of visually impaired setting on the Mac, however, I'm not sure how to turn this off. Any ideas?

I'm also getting a box outlining certain frames of a window where something can be clicked, typed into or edited. I suspect this also has something to do with a visual impairment setting of some kind?

I'm also strongly suspecting that my wife has messed around with me computer and its settings. Is there a fix for that too?

i just figured it out...all except for the wife part. Suggestions still welcome there

Funny,

System preferences > universal access > voice over off

set it to ask for password at start up, I had the same problem, she now has her old windoz laptop, and the Mac is mine,
The wife didn't ask about something on the Mac, she just messed untill it was a complete mess, now she can do as she pleases
