Magnifying glass has messed up

Something weird is happening on my system: whenever the magnifying glass (Magnify.exe), Chrome starts-sometimes just a new window, and sometimes it starts with a url that looks like part of the attempt to start the Magnifier.  This happens regardless of how I run - cmd command-line (with a name full or relative), starting from a cygwin shell, the folder itself, and even clicking on the option "Turn on Magnifier" in the control panel.

A possibly related strangeness is that when I use the control panel to do the above, he (the Control Panel dialog box control) gets frozen for a few seconds, and looking at the event log, I see that the "Windows Error Reporting Service" has restarted.

(Newly installed Windows 7 Ultimate n)

By accident, I managed to find the source of the problem.  (A classic case of a solution after spending a ton of time on it, right after that I wonder about it...)  I will describe it in case someone else runs into the same problem: I've seen only with a magnifying glass, but it is likely to happen with other accessibility features.

The problem was in an AutoHotKey script that I use to do a lot of things, among them, I have replace the shortcut Win + U - and that has caused the problem I've seen: since I bind him to start chrome with the contents of the Clipboard in the URL.  So my conclusion is that Magnifier.exe is not really do something in itself, but rather simulates press Win + U key to start the thing of accessibility and probably use the Clipboard to communicate information of what needs to be done.  (And if this is true, then it is a hack that is so ugly that we can ask for is an example of bad programming...)

In any case, once I found the problem, solving it was 'easy' - I just dropped on my shortcut, because I don't want to take the risk of other hacks to try to distinguish my own uses uses that are the result of the hack above.

Thank you and my apologies for the noise.

  • School network has no ability to sync settings such as magnifying glass, which is faulty

    I am a student with low vision school corporation as a whole that uses a system of account in network implementation on Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1 using Desktop Authority 8.1.2.7 ScriptLogic software.  The Magnifier software that you include with Windows 7 do not immediately adjusts the size of the Office in a way that manifests through the rearrangement and reconfiguring the desktop icons and windows when I connect after having implemented the magnifying glass, which I use connected, open as I do.  The development team at Microsoft in charge of the magnifying glass does intend to have the functionality of Windows XP SP3 which automatically reorganize and reconfigure the size and location of the Office windows and icons based on the presence of magnifying reintroduced in a future update to Windows 7 or the magnifying glass?  This would be deeply appreciated because of how I currently have to detach the magnifying glass at the top of the screen, wait a few seconds while Windows 7 finishes connect in and anchor magnify whenever I connect to any computer on which I've implemented magnification so that the desktop computer reorganize its content and windows above so that it can accommodate magnifying glass.  In addition, the settings I have set up my account on a computer do not synchronize above all other computers where I can access my account on the network.  I guess that this happens because our network is configured only to synchronize a folder mounted locally using the drive letter "P:\". "with the contents of the folder"My Documents"in such a way that the latter seems to occupy the former because the former actually creates the content on the current computer.  Others, on the scale of the systemw settings do spread on the network, but it would be useful, particularly in the case of the Magnifier, if spread on all networked computers at my school that I used my account and its parameters.  As it is, each computer that I log on must take a standard image with which it synchronizes my local account data, which must create the first time to connect to that specific computer when connecting.  Synchronize account could be updated to support account settings so built-in to Windows during the next major update of the operating system?

  • Green dot on the homepage next to the magnifying glass

    Hello world

    I hope you can answer my question, which has been bothering me for quite a long time.

    I checked the internet to find answers several times, but without a bit of luck.

    On my iPhone of 6 home page, there is a green dot above the magnifying glass, what it means?

    The point is present on my two home screens. I looked at other iPhones to people who do not have a green dot.

    Check the image to see for yourself.

    Thank you in advance,

    I am looking forward to hear from you.

    Best regards

    Hello, m.eklund93

    Your friends have the same apps running as you?   If this isn't the case, it would explain the absence on their phones.

    I noticed that the Green is the same shade as your 'telepfon' and Beskeder icons.   This could indicate that they are in operation. ?

  • A99 magnifying glass

    Anyone has any suggestions on a good magnifying glass to the A99 motorway?

    Thank you

    Kirk

    Unfortunately, we do not manufacture magnifiers magnifying glass for A99 cameras yet. We currently have lemons for an older DSLR, and we have no information when it currently exists in the A99 boxes but feel free to check out this link http://store.sony.com/ from time to time for possible availability or release of this accessory.

    For now, you might want to try the steps below to the development of precision:

    1. Set your camera to manual focus

    2. Press Fn and find fashion Focus

    3. Once the highlight Mode, set it to the DMF

    4. Press the Smart teleconverter button

    Note: You can do the focus ring to refine the development while pressing the shutter button halfway down.

    If you choose to use a magnifying glass magnifying glass you can see the third-party manufacturers, however, we cannot confirm the compatibility of these magnifiers as we have not tested.

  • Magnifying glass (Windows 7) can be programmed to start at a higher magnification?

    I am writing on behalf of my elderly mother, who has a very low vision due to macular degeneration.  She enjoys the loupe tool and that you should use it whenever she used the computer.

    Is it possible to put the magnifying glass so that it lights up at greater than 100 x magnification?  It seems only lights at this level, which is difficult for her to see, so every day, she had to fight to turn the level up to x 300 or 400 x.

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, he does. When you open your Magnifier application, it automatically zoom to 200%, but there is a magnifying glass icon that, once you click on, you see more settings. Click on the icon "+" to zoom in up to 1600%. Hope this helps (excuse my English is not my native language).

  • How to get rid of the border of the touch control on the magnifying glass of Windows?

    I need to be able to disable the border touch on the magnifying glass, as seen on the edges of the picture here.

    For some reason any Windows 8 or the integrated Intel GPU not dimensionnera anything on my Tablet (for 640 x 480 games rest in a small box in the middle of the screen rather than stretching to fill most of the screen). Samsung told me it's a Windows 8 delivers so if anyone can help me with there also would be great.

    To work around this problem I was forcing some games in windowed mode, then using the magnifying glass to blow up to an acceptable size.

    It works fine when I use a mouse, but as soon as I start to use the S-pen supplied with my Tablet (Samsung Ativ Smart PC) those annoying borders continue to flow upward, apparently to show me where I can move around the screen magnification. I want that this turned off, there must be a way to do this? Or as preference for completely disable touchscreen navigation of the Magnifier.

    If not, can anyone suggest an alternative Loupe tool that doesn't have these borders around the edges, when I use touch?

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: Is it not the kind of thing that can be disabled in the registry? I had a quick glance and could see no obvious tactile control don't enable the setting, but maybe someone else has a better idea?

    I also find the boring border.  Very disappointed with the answers.  However, I came across the solution.  With two fingers, a border on each side, tap, hold, and drag inward. This is.

  • ?? Magnifying glass, absent from the toolbar

    The magnifying glass is on the tools Panel. No problem. However, the Committee of the tool is on my 2nd monitor.

    The glass is no longer in my toolbar, where I used it constantly. Now, it's just a dropdown menu with 4 selections of zoom. Ugh! Anyone know if there is a way to put a magnifying glass on my toolbar?

    Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

  • How to turn of the yellow box with the magnifying glass in there? I hate that I'm looking for another browser to use!

    If I highlight a word or accidentally highlight a Word, I get this ubiquitous little yellow box with a magnifying glass or the mention "Loading". I hate it. I have to move the cursor on a blank area, then click to get rid of it. He is quite bored. I'm tired of fighting the browser to do my job! What fool this? I can't find a way to turn it off.

    In addition, to help further research, you could paste your list of extensions in response. For this list, the simplest method is to use the support information page, you can open using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    Scroll down a little the Extensions section, and then select the table below with your mouse and copy (for example, right-click > copy or Ctrl + c), then paste into an answer here. It's a bit messy, but we are used to it.

  • I can no longer stick in my text. All I get is the magnifying glass.  (I phone 5, running 9.02)

    When I try to paste it into my text (press and now in the text box), all I get now is a magnifying glass.  I'm under 9.2 on an iphone 5.  I disabled all the features of zoom on my phone. I rebooted my phone several times.  I have reset my network settings.  How can I get rid of him?  Is there a new way to stick to text messaging?

    Looks like you're pressing too long. Try typing instead of pressing and holding the place where you try to stick.
