Magnifier has a mind of its own

The magnifier starts up at any old time, when I'm right in the middle o
some program. It seems to start when I make some combination of ke
strokes but I can't figure out what I've done to set it off. I'v
followed all the suggestions given with no success. There is no chec
mark by magnifier in Ease Of Access. In fact it does not even appea
directly on that page (Vista Home Premium) . Control panel>ease o
access has an option to "Start Magnifier" along with "Start Narrator"
'Start On Screen Keyboard", etc. Below those are seven choices for "us
the computer without a display", "make the computer easier to see"
"make the mouse easier to see", and so on. Clicking on the second choic
opens a window with options to "choose a high contrast color scheme"
"hear text and descriptions read aloud", and so on. At the bottom o
that page there is a box to check by "Turn On Magnifier". It is no
checked. It has never been checked. I wish I could remove it from m
computer. Now, does anyone have an idea how to stop the magnifier fro
coming on at random times, seemingly all by itself. It only starte
doing this after I installed Windows 7 and went back to Vista Hom
Premium edition the next day, about two weeks ago. Thanks. :confused

Nevermind. Although I'd read a dozen help sites for suggestions
finally found the one I needed. Seems my laser mouse has a button tha
when pushed activates the magnifier. I've been using the same mouse fo
several years but never had the problem before. I guess having t
reinstall the mouse driver created new settings for all the buttons
Really stupid of Microsoft to set "turn magnifier on" as the defaul
setting for one of the mouse buttons. Why not set one to just "blow u
computer" by default? :mad
