There is black dialogue box on my mac mini that says everything that I do on my computer. How do I get rid of it?

Pughfam,

It sounds like you have Universal Access turned on.

In your Dock (the line of icons at the bottom of your screen) click on the icon labeled "System Preferences" (it looks like a gear box).

When the panel opens, the last icon in the System will be "Universal Access" (a blue circle with a little man). Click the icon and the panel will change.

Under the heading "Seeing" set the radio buttons for "VoiceOver" to "Off".

That should do it.

Just hit cmd+F5 (Don't include the +)

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you for posting this. This was a really annoying feature and glad I found a way to turn it off!

As others have already said, thank you! No idea how it got turned on, but very happy it's off now.
