 Overview 
 What is MagicRotation? 
 
 
Traditionally, computer displays allowed the user to view only in landscape mode. 
In todays information age, more users need to view documents, web pages, emails, etc. in there day to day 
life. These types of applications can be better viewed in portrait mode where the entire contents are 
available on the screen. This greatly improves the users productivity allowing him the flexibility to switch 
between landscape and portrait modes. 
 
The MagicRotation Software from Samsung Electronics, Inc. provides the user with a rotation feature (0, 90, 
180, 270 orientation) that facilitates the optimum utilization of computer display screen, better viewing and 
improved user productivity.  
 
 
 Basic Function 
MagicRotation will support Windows™ 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, NT 4.0 and XP Professional.

 Troubleshooting 
 Before You Call Technical Support 
 zMagicRotation Software works with the installed Display Driver supplied by your Graphic Card 
Vendor to provide screen rotation capabilities. If the installed Display Driver is working incorrectly 
or has bugs in it, then these bugs would still exist even after MagicRotation Software is installed. 
Any incorrect/random behaviour resulting due to problems in the installed Display Driver are not 
due MagicRotation Software. 
 
In order to verify if a problem exists in the installed Display Driver , you can perform the following 
diagonostic steps : 
 
1. Check if the problem is occuring in both 0 orientation (Landscape mode) and 90 orientation 
(Portarit mode). 
2. Check if the problem occurs with different color depths (8/16/32 bits per pixel) and different 
resolution modes (800 x 600, 1024 x 768). 
3. Check if the problem occurs without installing MagicRotation Software.  
 
 
If the problem is repeating in any/all of the following scenarios then it may be the problem with your 
installed Display Driver :
