    Magnification icon in bottom-right near time/date
    « on: October 19, 2011, 09:56:50 AM »
    At one time I had a "tool" for changing magnification in the bottom right-hand corner of my screen, near the time/date.  It's disappeared and I'd really like to have it back as I'm unable to see some of the smaller print on some websites.  How to I retrieve this, please?  Thank you.  K

      Do you have Intel Graphics Accelerator video driver? Best way I know to test is press Ctrl+Alt+F12 to pull up control panel. If yes, Start > Run and type "igfxtray.exe" to activate the Intel Graphics Accelerator Tray Icon Service.

      Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories folder - Ease of Access folder - Then look for Magnifier Icon. Right-click icon and choose Pin to Taskbar.

        Thank yall for your help.  For some reason, the "zoom" icon reappeared on its own.  Go figure, huh?
