Click here to see the postcard in PhotoPost, where you can super-size it.

If you want to zoom in on a picture or text, hold down the ctrl key and roll the scrolling wheel on your mouse. You can zoom in or out depending which way you turn the wheel. :)

Zoomin In - Who Knew?!

Cool tool. Thanks for the tip Yosemite. It will be helpful when I forget to bring my reading glasses.

That sounds like a neat idea. I just tried that and it doesn't work for me. Is there something else I have to push along with Ctrl and the scroll wheel..? :look: NB

If that doesn't work, hold down the ctrl key and press either the + or - key to zoom in or out.

If that doesn't work, see if you have a change zoom level in the lower right hand corner of your screen. If you do, you can zoom in and out with that.

Then again, I'm still trying to figure out how to keep "Windows Live Messenger" from popping up in my face when I log on to the internet with my nifty MSN Dial Up. Verizon HSI JUST came to our neighborhood this week for the first time. I tried to order it on line today but the website was too slow. :look: NB

This happend to me when I got Vista also. I think I did the following when the “Windows Live Messager” popped up:

1. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the question mark image.
2. Click "Show the menu bar"
3. Go to Tools -> Options -> Sign In -> uncheck "Automatically run ......."

Try this little program to kill Windows Messenger. I've used it many times: http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm

Please, please keep technical discussions like this on the Support Forum. This thread is about Windmills!

SAM: Your solution worked. It's now Very Nice to log on without the "Windows Live Messenger" IN MY FACE. :)

DON: I ran the "Kill The Messenger" program and it told me I was Clean..No "Messenger" program was on my system. Good.
