When I run my games, I do not see support for widescreen displays. What
can I do?
Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the
widescreen format becomes more popular. Check the game's Web site for
updates. You can also consult the following Web site for specific settings
and options to configure older games to support widescreen:

Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows
System Registry. We recommend making a complete system backup
before changing the System Registry.
Why do I need EzTune?
EzTune is required if you want to unlock the full potential of your monitor.
EzTune provides auto-rotation, on-screen display software control, and
software color calibration features. EzTune is not required for basic
operation of the display, but auto-rotation and other EzTune features will
not be available.
I am using third-party rotation software. Will this conflict with the rotation
features in EzTune?
There is a possibility that conflicts may occur. If the rotation software is
not part of your video driver (such as ATI, NVidia, and Intel), you should
first remove the software. If you are using the video driver's rotation
features, you should first set the rotation to 0 degree, then disable the
video driver rotation feature.
If you see your screen rotation image corrupted after using EzTune, make
sure that the video driver's rotation feature is not enabled. If it is, you may
have to uninstall and reinstall EzTune to resolve the conflicting rotation
software.
I updated my video driver on my computer, and when I restart my
computer I see an error message: "Pivot Software Error. Your
configuration has changed. Pivot software must be reinstalled. Would you
like Pivot Software to re-install now?" What is this?
The Pivot software is part of EzTune. When you installed EzTune, it
automatically configured itself with your currently installed drivers. When
you update your video drivers, Pivot must reconfigure itself. This is normal
operation. Choose the option to re-install. After restarting your computer,
EzTune should work without an error message appearing.
I am using multi-monitor and I am using the stretch or clone mode of my
video driver. Will this work with EzTune?
In some cases, EzTune does not work correctly in stretch or clone mode.
You should disable these modes and use multi-monitor mode only.
Why does EzTune not work with my other Gateway or third-party
monitors?
EzTune is only compatible with the Gateway 21-inch LCD Flat Panel
FPD2185W monitor.
