MAGNIFIED VIEWING

If you have difficulty reading parts of a computer’s display then Windows does have a built-in tool for magnify areas of the screen (you’ll find it within the Accessibility submenu from Accessories on the Start menu).

However, by Microsoft’s own admission, this is a pretty basic tool and it can prove a little frustrating to use for any length of time. Fortunately, there are better examples available.

You can download and use an application called Virtual Magnifying Glass. This is a free utility that can be tweaked in many more ways that the one thrown in with Windows, so that it can be set up to work just that way you need.

The link below accesses the program setup and once downloaded and installed (very easy) it provides an adjustable magnifying glass that can assist in reading this website more easily.

I hope this helps but do let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas for improving visual access.
