Thanks, Robert and Karen! Right now the computers on which the students would like to have the screen magnification are running XP. I'm just trying to help find a variety of inexpensive options to suggest. I will definitely keep the information you've suggested for working with students who have already upgraded their computers.<br>

If you use the Aero themes you have access to full screen or lens magnification. Unfortunately at this time you can’t use the full screen or lens with a high contrast theme. You will revert back to the split screen magnification if you do or if you use a screen reader.</span></p>
