Title: ArcadeVGA rotate windows desktop 180degs
Post by: rchadd on September 28, 2004, 09:56:55 pm

anyone know of a utility that will allow rotation of the windows desktop by 180degs?

i have my monitor installed "upside down" in my cocktail cab (to allow for install of coin door mech). i have ArcadeVGA with ATI driver that supports rotation in display control panel - but the rotate 180deg setting does not stay set when i reboot windows? and reverts to 0deg rotation and display upside down desktop.

maybe i can set the ATI rotation directly in the registry? maybe that would prevent it being reset on reboot?

any suggestions? (other than simply change orientation of the monitor - it simply wont fit!)

It is possible to switch wires on the monitor neck board to make this happen.

I don't recall the colors now (and you can FRY you monitor if you switch the wrong wires), but there are 2 wires for vertical and 2 for horizontal.  By switching these you can swap orientation.

Do a search in the monitor forum or on KLOV message boards.

Good luck,
Rocky

That's great.  :D
Glad you were able to do the hardware fix.
