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.)
In the full screen display of the [MS-DOS prompt], it is not possible to rotate the
display.
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 is cancelled when entering the suspend/hibernation mode or
displaying the [Display Properties] screen.
A rotated display state may be cancelled if certain screensavers are activated.
During a drag operation, the cursor may appear to fly from its actual location.
