Can I use Windows Media Player or other media players in portrait mode?
Depending on the processing speed of your computer, most video will
display correctly while in portrait mode. If your computer or video
subsystem cannot process the rotated video, you may see choppy or no
video displayed.
While playing a video file, I rotate my monitor, but then no video is
displayed or I see corrupted video.
Close and reopen your video player software.
Can I run video games in portrait mode?
Most video games are full-screen, 3D-accelerated programs and do not
support portrait mode. Unexpected results, including crashes or system
lockups, can occur if you run games in portrait mode. Change to landscape
mode before running video games.
Do all full-screen programs support portrait mode?
No, some full-screen programs only expect to see a display in landscape
mode. You can try your full-screen program in portrait mode. If you do not
see all of your program or if you experience unexpected program
behavior, run it in landscape mode.
Does Windows Media Center operate in portrait mode?
No, Windows Media Center expects the screen to be in landscape mode.
If you rotate the screen to portrait mode while Windows Media Center is
running, you may experience a blank screen. You should rotate back to
landscape.
Does EzTune work through a VGA splitter or KVM (keyboard/video/mouse)
box?
No. For EzTune to operate, no external device or splitter can be connected
to the monitor. The monitor must be connected directly to the computer.
How can I get a copy of EzTune if I misplace or lose my CD?
The entire EzTune CD can be downloaded for free from the following link:

Why do I see "noise" or "trash" on the screen?
When your display's digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal,
the signal is increased (up-converted) to match the display capabilities.
Up-converting can cause "noise" or "trash. " The signal on DVI-D is HDCP
encoded. Stop and restart the source to allow renegotiation.
What is HDCP and how do I troubleshoot it?
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a specification
developed by the Intel® Corporation to protect digital entertainment
content that uses a digital visual interface (DVI).
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content (signal) between the
video source (computer, DVD player, or set-top box) and the digital display
(monitor, digital television/DTV, or projector). HDCP is not designed to
prevent copying or recording of digital content, but only to protect the
integrity of the content as transmitted.
