 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 exis t even after MagicRotation Software is installed. 
Any incorrect/random behaviour resulting due to pr oblems in the installed Display Driver are not 
due to 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 colo r 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 : 
 
In order to correct the problem you need to perform the following steps : 
  1. Uninstall MagicRotation Software.  
2. Obtain the latest Display Driver from your Graphic Card Vendor. 
The latest Display Driver from (ATI, NVIDIA,  MATROX, INTEL, etc.) are easily available for 
download from their respective websites.  
3. Install the latest Display Driver  
4. Install MagicRotation Software. In most of  the cases this should correct the problem. 
 
 
zMagicRotation may not work in case monitor is repl aced or driver of graphic card is updated while 
MagicRotation is operating. 
If so, please restart the system.
