[Athen] Windows High Contrast + Magnifier causing screen to flicker?

[JORDISON_SHAWN via athen-list]

An old trick I used to use was to reduce the resolution on the monitor which would then cause most of the screen to automatically zoom. The flicker is from the FPS on the monitor and magnification - at least that's my guess. I would try lowering monitor resolution THEN magnifier and THEN color swap.

Hey all,



Working with a low vision student, and when we turn on magnifier and high contrast in windows, the screen flickers. I haven’t seen it before and having problems finding solutions. Any ideas?



Thanks,
