Hiit something by mistake and got a box that magnifies the area in it as the mouse moves. Only affects small part of screen. Rebooted and it was gone but returned.How do I get rid of it? Thanks

    Don't know what OS you are running, but in Vista, there is a magnifier that can be configured, and kicks in after login.  I know you can enable it from Control Panel, Ease of Access Center.  I'm guessing there is some configuration that would control how to permanently disable it, but do not know for sure.

    Hope that helps.

    Check your mouse, my mouse has a magnifier, it's the right button on the mouse.  Depending on what mouse you have you can change the settings for this button, for example, mine is a Microsoft Mouse, it has it's own listing in the program menu, and you can change the button assignments.

    Good luck,
