Hmmm

You have spotted the flaw Tim

From the web site and the sales bumph you would think it was all automatic

I'm afraid there is a little icon in the sys tray

And yes sometimes you do end up working the mouse the wrong way up J

Though you can set up hot keys

Does the picture rotate automatically via a position sensot like the old Pivot displays that were sold for Macs, or do you have to hit a hot key combo. If a key sequence is required then the latest ATI driver has it built in...

It works Ok

Running on the 18 inch LCD it gives a large viewing area for web pages and outlook

It is called Pivot, and runs totally independently of the Monitor

I've used it a couple of times with a plasma to give some interesting displays

The only problem I have is I have Matrox 450eTV card

They don't clash unless I try and run it in the Portrait mode

The software allows you to rotate the picture in 90 deg chunks

The supplied software doesn't work with XP but there is a quick download from their site

http://www.portrait.com/

looks as if they do free trials as well
