i need to run a presentation (flash) in portrait mode. i.e. turn my
screen sideways to look at it.

any ideas that don't require hardware ?

What kind of monitor are you using?

42" plasma

& what kind of video card & drivers? Sorry for not asking before.

sony viao pcg ? does that help

There's a software solution called "pivot pro" available which'll do
the job and rotate your display through 90 degrees at a time.

that seems to be what i'm looking for. i'll test it on mon am. on the
plasma, works ok my home monitor.

thx for your help

hey u can d/l alot of free tools from http://www.freewarehome.com and
u might try updating ur graphics driver for comp. or u can use a video
filter (at freewarehome) to flip the output 90.

but dont quote me on that ;)
