Display Rotation Tool

By running the Display Rotation Tool, it is possible to rotate the LCD computer screen 180
degrees and to perform Touchscreen operations in the rotated mode.
Double-Click from the taskbar or press Alt + Ctrl + R .
NOTE
When changing the key combination:
(Only the third key can be changed.)
1 Right click in the taskbar.
2

3 Select the key.
CAUTION
The Display Rotation Tool can be used in the only following modes:
800 x 600, High Color [16 bit]
800 x 600, 256 Color
When a moving picture is played with one of the applications below, there may be
times when the display will be unable to be rotated. In such cases, the moving
picture should be played after the display is rotated.
Windows Media Player
ActiveMovie
Direct Draw applications
MPEG overlay
When an external monitor is connected, the image on the external monitor will be
simultaneously rotated.
During display rotation, it is not possible to change the display output location by
pressing Fn + F3 .
The full screen display of the [MS-DOS prompt] during display rotation is shown in the
standard display direction. (The operation of the touch pad accommodates the rotation.)
When the display is rotated in the full screen display of the [MS-DOS prompt], the
[MS-DOS prompt] becomes an icon.
We recommend not rotating the display when the path of the cursor has been set to
be displayed and [Scheme] (in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] -[Mouse] - [Pointer])
has been changed, since the movement of the cursor will become extremely slow.
When the display is being rotated, a moving image may not be displayed correctly if
an application using a CD+ is run.
When the message "Cannot rotate display. There is DirectDraw application running"
is displayed, close all applications currently running. If there is no change in the
situation (after all applications currently running are closed), restart Windows.
When the display is rotated, there is a slight drop in the overall performance. For
example, the speed for data transmission using infrared communications or using
the serial port becomes slow.
When the number of points of calibration for Touchscreen is changed, be sure to run
[Calibrate] before rotating the display.
After the display is rotated, it takes about four seconds before the Touchscreen can
be used.
A rotated display state may be cancelled if certain screensavers (such as 3D Maze)
are activated.
During a drag operation, the cursor may appear to fly from its actual location.
