I first started drawing on Think Draw using aol as my connection or ISP I suppose. Recently, after reading about drawing via Internet Explorer and being able to magnify the drawing area, I have been doing that and love it. The problem is that I have been unexpectedly loosing my connection through IE and loosing drawings that are not saved when it happens. I don't loose my aol connection when this happens, just the Internet Explorer and it only seems to happening when I am in the middle of a drawing. It is soooo frustrating, but I hate to go back to the way I was drawing. Any ideas. Thanks for the help.

mdawrcn - I always use Mozilla Firefox and do not have any problems with losing the connection. I just tried magnifying the screen using 'control' and scrolling in with the mouse, and it works... you might like to give it a try...

MSIE has been wonky for me for the last couple of updates. I do still occasioinally use it, but only for the few websites that don't read well in Firefox. FF is absolutely my favorite.

Scrolling with the mouse kinda depends on how your mouse/trackball is set up and isn't available on all of them... but in Firefox holding Control and clicking the plus sign however many times magnifies same as in MSIE. Ctrl and the minus shrinks it. Ctrl and the zero returns it all to normal in one step.

Wow, you guys are great! Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely try it.

I must admit although firefox is good, I swear by Google Chrome, a slicker and faster browser with great stability and security. Just my personal preference.

Alright Steve. Thank you. I already have that browser on my computer so am going to try it instead and Q's instructions work for magnifying. Perfect.
