Hey guys,

We have a user who has MS and as a result has extremely bad eyesight. He is the only one left in the company still operating on Windows XP due to a piece of software he uses 'Big Shot'

Does anyone know of a Windows 7 equivalent?

Or any good software to enable him to be able to zoom the whole screen in to extreme proportions, that is also user friendly?

All suggestions welcome, if we need to buy a license for it, so be it.

Thanks in advance,
Jake
 
Is setting Windows 7 to 200% display settings not big enough?

(Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Display > Set Custom DPI setting)


EDIT: Infact, I can take it up to 500% if I clear the box and type it in.

The same function but in Win7 you can use Magnifier. Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease of Access Center - Turn on Magnifier. I've had it up to 1000% and gave up as it was mahoosive! Allows you to move the screen about, lock it in position etc.

Hmm ok, also seem Paridigms post, so maybe we just need to have a better play about with the built in Win7 stuff.

Thanks guys.
