someone told me that there is a way to turn on a screen magnifier..how do you do this for Windows ME ?

With Microsoft XP hold down the control "Ctrl" button while pressing the "+" symbol on the keyboard. The screen zooms in. Not sure if ME does it.

Hmmm... didn't work for me, Johnny.
Anybody else?

For Windows XP--
-Start
-Control Panel
-Accessability Options
-Configure Windows to work for your vision.......etc.
This opens a Wizard to help select viewing options.

Mark, he has Windows ME.

Cool, Mark.

i'll try the programs..but this guy still says ME has something on it already....

George, I'd try Mark's instructions. We had ME, and I think there are accessibility features on it, like a screen magnifier, or large print at the least.
The problem will be getting somebody to use it.

I looked into ME and as I thought, acessibility options are similar to XP
Looks like this is how you get there.
-Start
-Settings
-Control Panel
-Accessibility Options
