 Borsuc: Nice app, very good for zooming around the screen. Whether you just want to fool with it around or just use it nicely in some cases (no need to print screen first and then open in paint for zoomed inspection), it does its job. It's very well made. [2009-01-15 05:38]

 Decomp: Vista compatibility.

 kairozamorro: If you download 3.5 you don't even need to disable aero (it does that automatically and re-enables when you close the program).

This app is one of a kind. Not only does it do full desktop zooming where you can actually use the desktop, its completely free and portable. Take that pricey alternitives!

What makes this app so great is that it is portable light weight and absolutely requires no admin rights whatsoever to use. This enables the visually impaired to have equal access to a public computer, without having to request the installation of assistive software.

I really wish I had found this software sooner than I have. I'm now using it almost daily. I work on a lot of computers being a computer technician so the portability factor allows me to easily work on someone's machine. [2010-05-04 06:01]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
