Pivot(R) Software Manual Contents (best viewed using Times 12 point font)

In this booklet you will find instructions to assist you in installing and
using Pivot(R) Software.  This Documentation covers:
- Windows NT

Pivot(R) software adds functionality to your monitor, but is not required for
you to use it in traditional Landscape orientation.  If you experience any
difficulty, you can always remove the Pivot Software and revert to the native
software which came with your graphics adapter card or computer.

As new graphics cards and operating systems are introduced, Pivot(r) Software is
upgraded to provide enhanced compatibility with current configurations.  If
your system is not supported in this release, please contact the manufacturer
of your display to see if an upgrade is available.  Thank you for using Pivot(r)
Software.

WINDOWS 2000
Pivot Plug-In software (Introduction)
Pivot(R) for Windows 2000 has been reconfigured as a 'Plug-In'
software that works directly with your installed Manufacturer's (native)
graphics driver
to greatly enhance Pivot(R) speed and compatibility.  The Pivot(R)
Plug-In software no longer 'replaces' your original native landscape
graphics driver.  Pivot(R) now works directly with your native driver,
allowing the native Display Properties 'Control Panels' to operate normally. 
In landscape mode, Pivot(R) "steps out of the way" to allow your native
driver to function normally.  When 'Rotate' is selected, Pivot(R)
software activates to allow portrait viewing.
  
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION: First load your NATIVE landscape drivers. 
The native driver MUST be active to allow Pivot software to work
correctly!

Pivot(R) Installation Instructions, Windows 2000
1. Quit all other applications
2. Make sure your native drivers are installed before installing
Pivot(R)
software.
3. Insert the Pivot(R) CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive
4. Windows 2000: select RUN from the START button on the Taskbar
5. Type D:\SETUP.EXE (replace D: with the letter of your CD-ROM if necessary)
6. Click INSTALL

1.0     Known issues with Pivot Plug-In  
   
  1.1 Direct Draw Problems

If you experience any problems running a Direct Draw application or any
other amination routines such as .AVI, QuickTime, or others, please do the
following:
1.  Rotate your screen image to landscape mode and re-launch the amination problem.
This will usually correct the problem.

2.0 Before you call Technical Support

Remember, Pivot(R) Plug-In software does not replace your manufacturer's
(native) display drivers.  Instead Pivot works directly with your native
drivers to add portrait functionality.  Therefore, if a bug exists in your
native driver, it will still exist when Pivot Plug-In software is
active.  

If you find a problem that you suspect is graphics display driver
related, you need to follow a few simple steps to verify and possibly correct
the situation.
1. Does this problem occur in both landscape and portrait orientation?
2. Does this problem occur at different resolutions, for example 800x600 vs. 1024x768?
3. Does this problem occur when using different color depths (256 vs. High Color)?
4. Does this problem occur when using your native driver without Pivot loaded?

a) If the problem happens in both landscape and portrait modes, then
this may be a native driver issue. Please do the following:
Make sure you have the most current native display drivers.
Most manufacturers such as Diamond, STB, ATI and others have web sites
that will allow you to download current drivers. 
- Simply upgrading your native WHQL drivers and re-installing Pivot 
Plug-In will, in many cases, solve the problem.
