ZoomIt is a freeware from Sysinternals which lets you zoom into part of your screen. With resolutions beyond 1600*1200 it becomes more urgent to have a utility that lets you zoom into part of your screen to magnify that part. It is also nice if you want to take a closer look at low resolution images for instance.
ZoomIt displays a configuration menu at the first startup. You can configure hotkeys for various aspects of the tool (hotkey for Zooming, breaking and drawing). It is a great tool for presentations as well, if you run them using a notebook and beamer for instance. Zoom the important part so everyone gets a better view of that part.

hello
Windows has a built in magnifier. Just open the Run dialog (Start>Run) and enter “magnify”.
Free and no download necessary. You can also run it with Start>All Programs>Accessories>Magnifier. Giving access to a magnifier is mandated by law, as disabled people who have problems seeing should be able to use this kind of tool.
A similar effect can be achieved on websites using the JavaScript tool Magic Zoom.
