Thanks Don, yes I've tried it but I couldn't get it to do the full screen, and with a laptop screen being small already that doesn't help much either! Another frustrating thing is that the laptop's screen has this glossy finish, so it reflects ambient light and you have to be viewing it orthogonally else you see even more reflections. Apparently this glossy finish makes images more vivid, but it just frustrates me enlessly -- had I known this I would have gone for another laptop instead, but anyways. Will probably end up connecting it to my NON GLOSSY or MAT finish 19 inch LCD. This I can only do after getting a HDMI to DVI converter plug, since another thing I didn't realise was that the laptop doesn't have a VGA port but a HDMI port which is fortunately compattible with DVI.
Any other ideas? Kerneels On 1/31/2011 9:14 AM, Don Marang wrote:

I'm really just looking for the following features, not the full monty that ZoomText has to offer, and which I rarely use:1. full screen magnification at up to 16 times. 2. Color inversion / negative video.3. Pointer / cursor enhancers, as in largerr sized pointer and cursors (optional, not essential).Help much appreciated!
