Do note, however, Google will ask you do you mean "Desktop Zoom" instead of "DesktopZoom." I don't know why but if only I can get Google to shut up for asking me stupid questions. Anyway, I used Bing and I found the program. I've tried it out but one thing that is a big drawback is a disabling of Aero Glass, which I'd like to use. I'd like the fact that I'm not pushing the edge of the screen like in Windows 7's magnifier, however, I don't need a mouse pointer to be yellow. (Comment continues.)

@GraysonPeddie Thanks for your comments! As for the "Pushing the edge of the screen", I think you can fix that by checking "Focus on curser". I believe that's the way it's stated in the options. Desktop zoom isn't perfect by any means, and Windows 7's magnifier/zoom is honestly better. I recorded this before Win 7 was available. There are other options out there for free.

Very nice! I'll try it now!

@EduDeAguiarTV DesktopZoom is a pretty good magnifier. There is a newer version than the one I used in this video. Hope it helps you, and hope you enjoy it.

[EduDeAguiarTV]

@VideoGuyNC Thank you. I've downloaded v3.5 from their website. Is it the newest one?

[VideoGuyNC]

@EduDeAguiarTV I think it is. I was using an old version in this video.

Typing is a bit slow with DesktopZoom. So anyway, that's my first impression of using DesktopZoom. Would I recommend this program? I'd say "yes" if they could forget about Aero Glass as it's only a matter of personal preferences. Could I live without DesktopZoom? Yes. I could live with pushing a mouse against the edge of the screen in order to get it to move, but I can easily get tired of it.

(This is for a previous comment as I don't have that much space left to type.)

Wow thi thing is a buggy pile of shit.

Ow the thought of putting it on a flash drive never crossed my mind. It's a good idea since I also often work on other people's computers. It does have some imperfections, but so do the really expensive softwares. So I am very to happy having something free that works well for me.

[VideoGuyNC]

You are very welcome. Thank you for your kind words. I am just glad my little video helped someone. I use this program as well. It allows me to work on other people's computers without having to mess up their accessibility settings on their computer when I'm working on it. DesktopZoom isn't perfect, but it's free.
