the flexibility to switch between landscape and portrait modes.

feature (0, 90, 180, 270 orientation) that facilitates the optimum utilization of computer display 
screen, better viewing and improved user productivity.

Troubleshooting 
 
 
 
 
Before You Call Technical Su
pport 
 
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 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 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 : 
 
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 replaced or driver of graphic card is updated 
while MagicRotation is operating. 
If so, please restart the system.
