How can I stop my wireless magic mouse keep enlarging the screen display. I often move my finger across the mouse and the screen view becomes much enlarged which I don't want and I don't know how to revert to normal when this happens. How can I stop this please? I am running OSX 10.7.5.

It sounds like you've somehow mapped screen zoom (found in the Accessibility preferences) to the mouse. This is normally activated by holding command and using the scroll on the mouse. Check your mouse and Accessibility settings to fix it.

Default is actually the CONTROL-key, not the Command-key.

It's always been the command key for me, and I've never changed it.

It's been Control on all OS X systems I've owned, and it's Control on the Guest Account on this machine (and I've just logged into the guest account for the first time ever on this system). It's also control on the secondary admin account I created last Monday after rebuilding this entire system from scratch.
Google seems to bear out that this is, and always has been, the default.

Thanks for that. You are correct. Control key works for me. Also I now see I can turn off " Smart Zoom" in mouse prefs which may be an additional factor.

This *may* have been mentioned in the thread.
