Turn Off Magnifier

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

Re: Turn Off Magnifier

Check your mouse settings. Maybe one of the buttons of the mouse is set to
magnifier and you pressed that button. Change that function from one of
you mouse settings.

Re: Turn Off Magnifier

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.

Re: Turn Off Magnifier

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:[color=blue]
> You do not get a small window with an Exit button? Once activated
> check the Taskbar for the Magnifier and rightclick and click Close.[/color]

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

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.

Re: Turn Off Magnifier

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.

Re: Turn Off Magnifier

The Magnifier came on for me and I was annoyed. So rather than reboot, I went to the web to see how to turn it off. I see others have the same issue I had.

In my case, the magnification was not caused by Vista since the control panel -ease of use magnifier checkbox was not checked.

I found that my mouse software was the issue. I have the wireless intellimouse explorer 2.0 from microsoft. So under start-all programs- microsoft mouse-microsoft mouse, I noticed that the small thumb button is set to start the magnifier (and turn it off too). I am changing this setting because I really don't want to accidentally turn that on again.
