Computer Question - Vista

I'm at my Mom's right now getting her computer back up and running. She has a tendency to click and download everything and anything that says "you should do this or do that". She's not the most computer literate person (god love her). But anyways, question for ya. When I boot the computer up this window automatically opens: "magnifier". I cannot find where to disable this. It basically is the desktop magnified to where you can see a small portion of it over top of the regular desktop (does that make sense?) It's the Vista system. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

i am not running vista, but i have had that happen to me before (windows xp)
and it was a mouse option that i ended up turning off via, START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, then MOUSE options.

that magnifier is a pain in the ****.
