I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 with a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0.
Every so often, I inadvertently click the small thumb button on the
mouse. This turns on the screen magnifier. When this happens, I haven't
been able to turn the screen magnifier off without re-booting. I did
find that if I change the default action for this mouse button to
something different while the magnifier is on that also shuts it off but
that isn't much better than re-booting.
According to
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-items-on-the-screen-appear-bigger-Magnifier
"To exit Magnifier, press the Windows logo key+Esc." This doesn't work
for me. Maybe this is for Windows 7 only or maybe it has to do with this
mouse. I haven't found an XP-specific page for keyboard shortcuts at
microsoft.com
How can I keep the magnifier function on this mouse key and turn the
magnifier off? Thanks!
