NOTE
While the display is rotated:
• Do not use the Extended Desktop (The touch pad or touchscreen may fail to
operate properly.)
• Do not calibrate the touchscreen
The touch pad scroll, zoom, and data zoom functions do not work while the dis-
play is rotated.
Be sure to use the Display Rotation Tool to rotate the display.
The display cannot be rotated in the following cases:
• When the display resolution is set to 1024 x 768 pixels or more
• When the [Command Prompt] is set to "Full Screen"
• When some applications are running
If the display is rotated when the resolution is set to 800x600 pixels or 640x480
pixels, depending on the Windows specifications, the resolution displayed in
[Screen area]* of [Display Properties] may show [640 by 480 pixels]. Continue
using these settings, without changing [Screen area]*.

Windows XP
When switching the computer to another user with the Fast User Switching Function
while the display is rotated, first return the display to landscape mode (0 degrees).
After the display has been rotated, if the Fast User Switching Function is used, or
if the computer enters the standby or hibernation mode and then resumes, the
screen for selecting the user will remain in its rotated position. Do not exit Win-
dows in this condition, because the next time the computer is started up, the
screen angle will not match the operations of the touch pad or the touchscreen. If
this happens, operations will return to normal after you have logged onto Win-
dows by using the keyboard.
