Hi can someone please tell me an easy way to rotate my picture 90 degrees so I can turn my monitor on it's side? I can do it with this pc but when I go into display on my cabinet monitor it doesn't offer to rotate it , I'm using xp on both , I'm not very good with pc's , so is there any easy way to do this , THANKS

Are you trying to run windows vertically or are you trying to just run the "front-end" vertically to pick vertical games.

If you are trying to run vertical games all you must do is allow windows to start however it wants to but have a "vertical friendly front-end" in your startup folder.

When the front-end loads it will be vertical.

I would suggest MALA as your front end since it is very user friendly.

I hope this is more helpful than confusing.

I'm trying to run windows verticaly , I've struggled trying to use front ends , any I got working missed out games etc, so I just use mame 32 and wanted to turn it 90 degrees , thanks.

Have you tried Mala?

Once it is running, you right mouse click, highlight orientation (i believe) and click "rotate".

Thats it, done.

Give it a shot, it will be much easier to rotate the frontend rather than trying to rotate windows and everything.

If I understand your original post correctly, you are saying that there is a rotate feature on your XP PC, but a second XP PC that is in your cab does not show this feature?

If so, the rotate feature is a function of the video card drivers - not XP. It might help if you tell us what video card/drivers you are using.
