Evey time Windows opens, a small 'zoom' window appears. It will not move or delete without going to the Ctrl+Alt+Del Task Manager, go to processes, and End Task of Zoom Window. How can this be ended permanently? No idea why it began!!!

Assuming you're using WindowsXP, you can change settings for the zoom window from the Utility manager...

To open Magnifier, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Accessibility, and then click Magnifier.

I believe you can decide what starts on boot from there...

Cheers,
Tim.

Check the Registry to see if Magnifier is being called on startup:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce

HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Make sure Magnifier.exe is not being called in any of those spots.

Hope that helps.
