Maybe a month or so, Windows Magnifier on both my work computer and my home computer developed a problem. When I start my computer, and get to the Windows desktop, clicking on the Magnifier icon that I have pinned to the taskbar does nothing. Technically, it shows a horizontal line over the icon...

Having used the Intellipoint 5.4 Magnifier tool for the past few years, I'm truly disappointed with Windows 7's Lens Magnifier, which Intellipoint uses instead the older version. The Windows 7 Lens seems to be trying to replicate the old Intellipoint features but it doesn't stack up, namely...

I opened and used the Magnifier program on my Windows 7 to see an inverted video, but not quite sure what the default options were (there isn't a restore default settings on it), so if someone who hasn't used this program would kindly do these that would be great. :) - Tell what your is view...

I have what I think is an Ease of Access problem on a laptop that was bought in March of this year. When I start it up in the morning or any time during the day after it has been shut down or I have restarted, I have to click on the icon that is down in the lower left which says "Ease of Access"...

For many of us, the Windows Magnifier tool is something we’ve occasionally activated by accident. There’s a lot more to Magnifier in Windows 7 then just a big box that shows pixellated mouse movement, however. It makes for a great laptop-in-bed helper, for example. (more…) More...
