Magnification Program?

[Alaron]

I am looking for a program that I could download that allows you to magnify in Internet explorer. Ive seen PCs that have this capability and I was wondeing if this could be downloaded. When I look at images that people send or post on other tech sites, they are sometimes small and you cannot expand them like some images in IE, and I dont really want to have to save it and stretch it in MSPaint, because that distorts the image too much.

Is there something out there that would work?

TIA

Hi Alaron56,

Don't have a magnifying program you, but if you hold the Ctrl key and use the mouse wheel you can make the letters zoom in or out.

if you are using XP there is a magnification power toy add on from ms you can use that sits in the task bar, Do a search for ms power toys and it will come up. It may be available for other windows flavors by now also.

Err.... Doesn't 98/Me/2k have a magnification tool in programs-accessories-accesibility?

I think thats the same power toy, but i thought it was an addon for all os's, maybe it is native

I looked Orcmonkey but I dont see anything like that. Maybe that was a feature in 98SE, I have the first edition.

Thanks Oemguy, Ive been looking and Ive found some things, except none of the download links work, ARG. Ill keep trying.

Try install the accessibility features off the 98 CD by going to control panels>add/rem programs, then add windows features, and look for the accessibility checkbox.

Thanks OrcMonkey, I just didnt have it installed. All is good now. Thanks all.
