Please he'd the warning below from the AISquared knowledge base 
and do not
upgrade to IE9 on Windows 7 or Vista systems
using either Magic or Zoomtext until serious accessibility 
concerns are
resolved.

KB: Warning about the use of ZoomText with Internet Explorer 9

Last updated: March 11 2011




The information in this article applies to:
ZoomText
Internet Explorer 9

Microsoft will officially release Internet Explorer 9 on March 
14th, 2011,
which will include support for HTML5, Direct2D and other new 
hardware
acceleration technologies designed to increase the speed and 
performance of
Internet Explorer.  These new technologies bring new challenges 
for
accessibility programs like ZoomText.  More specifically, these 
technologies
will have crippling adverse effects on ZoomText's xFont, tracking 
and screen
reading features.  Therefore, at this time we are advising 
ZoomText users not
to install or upgrade to Internet Explorer 9, as doing so will 
result in a
loss of ZoomText functionality within Internet Explorer, and 
possibly a
decrease in personal productivity.  We do want to assure you that 
we are
working on overcoming these problems and will provide a solution 
as quickly
as possible.

Thank you,
The Ai Squared Support Team
