    Are there any programs that will let you just zoom in on a portion of whatever you happen to have up on your screen at the time? I would find this enormously useful. Sorry if this has been previously covered, but I am pretty new at this and would appreciate any input.Possibly I already have it in my Windows 98SE but don'
    t know how to use it? Thanks, js.

    Yes! (i guess.) Desktop mag does sound like what I want. Viper, the site you directed me to has many of them. Can you suggest one? By the way, thanks to you gents for the rapid responses. I am new here, and thanks also for the greeting. Very cool site. js.

    nothing specific, just to look closer at pix i get off of various sites like astronomy, dirt bikes, etc. i don't care about being able to print or even save or such. I guess I'll just try one at random from the list you kindly supplied.

    If you use FireFox you can download "image zoom" which will allow you to right click on images within webpages and zoom in on them to whatever level you want but be aware that if it is a poor quality image then it will become pixelated very quickly and look like crap.

    Ditto the FastStone great program plus has many more photo options, than just resizing, that would be my pick
