How do I deactivate maginifier in the accessability folder? I have deleted everything but the utility manager. The note still pops up saying it cannot launch maginifier.

Go to Start> Programs> Accessories> Accessibility> Magnifier and uncheck the Show Magnifier in the Presentation box. Click Exit. That should resolve it.

Check to make sure that the magnifier is not set to run at Start Up (Start, Programs, Start Up). If it's in there, just delete the reference from there.

If it's not in the Start Up, the best way to get rid of this is to boot into Safe Mode, go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add\Remove Programs applet, Windows Setup tab. Reinstall the Accessibility features. Reboot to Safe Mode. Go to the same place and uninstall the Accessibility features. Under the Keyboard applet, make sure that there is no check box checked enabling hot keys for accessibility features.
