Brian, One thing you could check in addition to Nick's thorough steps, is in the Navigation section of the VO Utility. The last pop-up menu just before the "Allow Cursor Wrapping" checkbox, says something about the Mouse Pointer and how it is affected by VO. I usually set it to "Follows VO Cursor" and it seems to alleviate the mouse pointer being stuck up at the Apple menu problem. I've experienced that frustration in the past as well. Some folks prefer that the Mouse Pointer ignores the VO cursor but I tend to have an affinity to everything following each other, not that I'm a follower or anything like that. You may also wish to turn VO off then back on to see if that smartens VO up a little, so it behaves properly. VO sometimes seems to misbehave after numerous settings changes and/or other multiple attempts at things.
You are being very patient with all this, I'm glad that things are mostly working for you. Have a good one. Later...
