Magnifying glass cursor

I have a computer running Vista connected to a TV, it's good for watching downloaded videos and such, but when navigating folders or browsing, etc, the resolution isn't great (on lowest setting).

I had a Microsoft wireless mouse that came with software that had the option of putting a magnifying glass on the cursor. That worked great except I couldn't use that mouse because it didn't have enough range to reach the receiver from my coffee table. I have a Bluetooth mouse that works great but doesn't give me the magnifying glass option.

The magnifying glass in "Ease of Access" doesn't seem to have the option of putting the magnifier on the cursor. I can dock the magnifier, but at such a low resolution it takes up too much screen, and if I float it I have to drag it constantly because it's always in the way of something.

I've tried several third party applications that claim to be able to put a magnifier on my cursor, but those either don't work on my system, or are really poor quality.

The magnifying glass that came with my Microsoft mouse is perfect if I could get it to work on my non Microsoft mouse...I can't seem to do that.

Please help!
