What is the screen resolution you are using? If you bump the screen resolution down to 800x600 (or 1024x768 and increase the DPI setting, you can have Windows provide some magnification for you compared to having the laptop using a 1900x1200 resolution.

Thanks David, I wasn't aware of this ZoomText Express edition. If it could only do say up to 8 times magnification instead of 2 times this would be an excellent option indeed.On 1/31/2011 3:19 PM, David Ogilvie wrote:The Windows 7 magnifier can do full screen magnification, but only if you are using the Aero colour scheme. If you are using a high contrast scheme such as "high contrast black" you will only be able to get a "lens mode" magnification. Note also that Windows 7 Magnifier does not provide a screen inversion feature.AISquared also has a slimmed-down version of ZoomText called ZoomText Express which can be purchased from their web site for $50 US. It has screen inversion, up to 2 times magnification, and mouse and insertion point enhancements. While it won't get 16x magnification, and is not free, it will substantially meet your other requirements.I'm not aware of any free magnifiers that meet all of your requirements. Hope this helps!

Color inversion / negative video.3. Pointer / cursor enhancers, as in largerr sized pointer and cursors (optional, not essential).Help much appreciated! Kerneels
