I'm still new to Solidworks 2009 (just finally got it
installed yesterday and the Liscense Manager working today). I was
really excited about the magnifying glass option, but when I tried
it out (by hitting the "G" key), I only got a circle on the screen
that I could move around with my mouse. I wasn't zoomed in and
wouldn't zoom in or out when I scrolled my mouse wheel. Anything
I'm not doing right or something else I should know about?
A couple other users have mentioned issues with the magnifying glass too. We were able to reproduce their issues by using old graphics card drivers. Using more recent graphics drivers fixed the issue in our testing.
I would recommend checking your graphics driver version and comparing it with the list of supported drivers found on our website at:

If a driver upgrade doesn't fix your magnifying glass issues, please let us know.
Thanks,
