OS: Windows XP Pro SP3
System: Intel Core2 Duo 2.67Ghz, Matrox Millennium G550 dual head graphics card
Upon recruitment all our staff are required to complete certain on-line learning packages, all of which are created using Opus.
As an equal opportunities employer we have a number of staff who have disabilities.
One lad has a visual impairment and requires screen magnification software to access the computer. Most magnification packages work with Windows OS but we are struggling getting them to function with Opus. Basically as the pointer is moved around the screen, redraw does not occur, erasing screen content, revealing the previously displayed page beneath.
We have tried ZoomText and Lunar without success.
Has anyone either 1) had experience of this problem and solved it with Opus or 2) found screen magnification software that functions correctly with an Opus production?
All suggestions greatfully received (apart from 'buy him a magnifying glass')

Never used either of these two so maybe they have some extra functions but XP's magnifier seems to work fine.

Thanks for the suggestion.....following investigation of the XP magnifier (which I had forgotten ever existed) I found that it worked fine with Opus.

I think my tag line should be "the most obvious solution is usually the best....if you remember it exists"
