2001 FP Pivot on the Fly w/ XP?

Alas, pivoting this monitor is completely mechanical -- there is no electrical signal that the video card can use to tell its position. So you need to change the display properties every time.

Darn.. thanks ..

Can someone tell me what/how display settings to change to when I want to do this?

I'm so new to this, (just got mine today) and have not yet figured this stuff out.

thanks,

BAF

It depends on your video card and drivers. I've got an icon for the driver in the taskbar notification area (the icons on the right end of the taskbar) which has a popup menu that selects rotation. I can also bring up the display properties, settings tab, press advanced, and I have a tab there that has the rotation settings as well.

I want to shift from landscape to portrait, but do not know how to do it. The instructions I had was to download a driver from the Dell Web, as I do not have Dell PC hurdles escalate!

All my intelligent sources(of which I have none!) tell me a new graphic card wont help.

Any help appreciated!

You haven't said what card you have. It doesn't matter if your PC isn't a Dell. First thing is to go to the web site for your video chip vendor (probably either NVIDIA or ATI) and download the latest drivers. With any sort of luck you will get the rotation support.

My computer tells me it has a VIA/|S3G Unichrome  IGP, websit updated my driver - but seemingly of little of use.

Any help appreciated?
