Turn Off Magnifier

MaryA

I've used the internalsearch function & got a hit for Turn Off Magnifier.
It linked me to magnifier which only allows me to turn it on! I've searched
the discussion groups & found some suggestions, but I couldn't make them work.

I boot up, the magnifier turns on, I manually turn it off & reboot; there it
is again. I went to see what programs run on startup & it's not there.

Could someone please please walk me through the process so that it doesn't
automatically turn on.?

Thanks

Go to *Control Panel* and look *below* the *Ease Of Access icon* Select
*Optimize Visiual Display* a screen called Make Compter Easier to see
will come up.
*Scroll down to the magnifier* and *uncheck* the magnifier selection
Then *click on the Apply* button

I have had the same problem. It seems when my cursor touches the left side
of the screen the magnfier comes on and you can't turn it off until you
restart the computer. I followed the suggestion to go to the control panel
for Ease of Access and clicked on Optimize the Display. However, the
magnifier is unchecked. This is a continuing nuisance and happens a lot. Is
there a way to turn of the Ease of Access capability? I looked in the
Windows options list but saw no listing for turning off individual
capabilites such as this.

Hi, Path Rider.

A couple of weeks ago, I had practically the same problem, except that the
Magnifier stayed on all the time; touching the side of the screen did not
toggle it own. After a frustrating day, I posted a plea for help in the
microsoft.public.windowsxp.accessibility newsgroup and quickly got a
response from a poster named Byte:
> You do not get a small window with an Exit button? Once activated
> check the Taskbar for the Magnifier and rightclick and click Close.

To which I replied:
> NOW I see that on the Taskbar! Where was it this morning? I looked all
over for something and never found it. :>( I'm using Vista, so it might be
different from WinXP.

> But I found the answer,,, finally, with help from another MVP. Back on
> the
Ease of Access page, under Make the computer easier to see, I found the
checkbox, unchecked it and Applied it.

It seems you've already tried that, though, so I'm not sure what else to
suggest. This was my first visit to the accessibility newsgroup, but they
quickly solved my problem. Perhaps a visit there would be your best hope.

I also believed that not being able to turn off the magnifier was also my
problem. I had the same things happen as stated in the previous posting.
My magnifier was not checked on. So of course I was not able to turn it off.
The problem turned out to be the resolution not the magnifier. Go to
"control Panel" to "Appearance and Personalization" to "adjust screen
resolution" If this is causing your problem the resolution will be on LOW.
Use the slide scale to HIGH and click on apply. You will barely see the
apply button. It will be on the lower right hand corner of the window.
