Monitor Flipping 90 deg - Automatically

[TRIBOY]

I have an IPac(2 player) wired and it works great. I check all the buttons with the key check and they check out.

I have just 1 problem.

When I hit 1SW1 (L-ctrl) and then immediately hit 1SW2 (L-alt) my monitor flips 90 degrees automatically.

I rewired and rewired, but I cannot solve this problem.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The IPAC shouldn't be doing that but it's possible the frontend you are using does that.  I use AdvanceMame and I have it setup to rotate 90 degrees if I hit l-alt.  That might be the default actually.  Check the software you are running.

The most likely explanation for this behaviour is that you video card driver has hot keys for screen rotation.  I know I had it happen to me.

Check you video screen settings and disable any hotkeys.

Under which option do I find these "hot key" settings?

Depends which card you have.  Im gonna have to say its most likely some hotkey thats programmed in your frontend.  For example, if you wired them differently, you could make 3 buttons be CTRL ALT DEL...the iPac makes it a keyboard.
