    - start menu / help & support - type in the word " magnify " it will tell you all you need to know.

    Hope this helps

    Hi,

    found this, might help,

    Click on the Start button
    All Programs
    Accessories
    Ease of Access Center

    Then click on 'Make the computer easier to use' near the bottom.

    Then uncheck 'Turn On Magnifier'.

    Edit: Then I found this: To exit Magnifier, press the Windows logo key 0d8a4985-b5e2-41a6-a1b6-e4bafb517937.png+Esc.

    I have a logitech laser mouse and if I press the scroll wheel down I get a magnifying glass cursor and using the scroll wheel increases or decreases the text size. To stop it I press it down again. Also in the bottom right hand corner of I.E. 8 ther is a little magnifying glass icon with a number next to it and a little down arrow which when you hover the cursor on it says change zoom level.

    I think you should have a look at that
