Did you even get to the preferences menu at all? Remember, you need to rout your mouse to the Universal menu then move the mouse straight left. Then, when you hear that the mouse is over the drop Box menu, click the mouse using VO+shift+space. Now, arrow down to the preferences menu and then press return until you hear, "select preferences" or something like that, pressing return one time after another will toggle between select and deselect. One more thing, after you've done this successfully once, you need to restart Voice OVer before you can do it again.
