So recently anytime I click an application my resolution will zoom in and flicker a black screen. Sometimes it will resolve its self and go back to my correct resolution, but sometimes it says zoomed in. After uninstalling Winstep/NeXus it stopped the problem. So I want to know why it is happening and how to fix the issue because I really don't want to have to constantly zoom in and out. I do love the NeXus dock, but I can't handle the zooming and flickering anymore.

You already asked this question HERE, and I replied to it.

The screenshot you provided makes it very hard to understand what is going on or what the problem actually is. Could also be a video driver problem affecting applications that used layered windows.

I am not running a magnifier software and the image is hard to see because that is what I see when it zooms in. I can't see anything when it zooms in. Which is why I want it to stop zooming in.

What application are you running at the top of the screen?

Also, you mention this only started happening recently, which implies it did not happen before. What applications have you installed recently on your system or what changes have you made to it?

Reason I'm asking is because I know for a fact this has nothing to do directly with Nexus, even if it may seem that way to you now.

The program at the top is Rainmeter. It doesn't do anything, it is just a skin. It could possibly be a conflict with the dock maybe the dock thinks it is another dock and trying to make room for it. The most recent software I downloaded was league of legends. I talked to their support and they said it may be a conflict with NeXus.

That's what I think too... some 3rd party software is conflicting with Nexus. Either that or video driver problems.

So, because I can't actually see what is going on in there, try to provide a bit more detailed explanation of what is happening, please... from what I understood, as soon as you click/launch *any* application from the dock a part of the screen magnifies? But it's not the whole screen? What happens to the application you just launched trough Nexus?

The program will zoom in and out repeatedly. Sometimes it fixes its self and it goes to the correct resolution sometimes it just stays zoomed in and I have to go to my settings and manually change my resolution. I thought it was my magnifier to (something with my mouse maybe) but the magnifier is turned off. I can send a video to show what it looks like.

Yes please, a video would be terrific! :)

Also, doesn't the Rainmeter taskbar have a magnifier tool as well?

It won't let me submit the video. I didn't know rainmeter did have a magnifier and I don't know how to check.

wait, is it a maginfying effect (does it move around your desktop with cursor like windows magnifier) or is it a resolution change?

No it is just the resolution. The resolution will zoom in and out.

Wow. That has nothing to do with Nexus anyway.

Here, try reading THIS.
