Hi Colin. I use Zoomtext 8 and find that I sometimes have to load the program three or four times. The first couple of times I load the program I get the magnification , but I don't get mouse or menu tracking. As to sluggishness. If you use one of those new monitors, the thin ones, you will get very sluggish mouse movement. I would get better results, I'm told, with an older type of monitor. Peter ----- Original Message -----
