Default Free screen rotation program



http://www.pocketop.net has a driver for their wireless IR keyboard. It also allows rotating the screen.

They just announced that their driver supports the loox. This is especially interesting for the Asian loox users because the nyditot program is not bundled with the loox.

You can download the driver at http://pocketop.radiant.net/drivers.shtml

I downloaded the SetupPocketPC2002.zip universal C++ driver)(Dell Axim, ....)

It worked perfectly.

Have fun rotating.

Open a new word document (or anything that makes the input selection key at the bottom right corner appear). Change the input device from keyboard (screen tap board) to 'Pocketop Keyboard'.

Above the task bar will appear another bar with icons regarding the Pocketop keyboard. The icon most to the left will open a menu that allows you to rotate the screen. (It might ask you to reboot the fisrt time you use it)

Let me know if this helps. It sounds more complicated than it actually is.

Good luck!

When I try to select the "Pockettop Keyboard" the normal keyboard gets selected. So the menu doesn't get available..

I tried to do a soft reset. I have a Toshiba e750 btw, and I downloaded this file "SetupPocketPC2002.zip (universal C++ driver)".

Pay attention if you have Nyditot Virtual Display : it seems that this "free" driver from Pocketop includes a DLL file from Nyditot
When I installed this driver (I have a Pocketop keyboard), I was asked if I wanted to replace a NVD****.dll file and it was an older version than the one I had in my Pocket PC

Default screen rotation

switch password off, otherwise the rotated login-screen will not show bottom row of numbers (when using 4 digit password), and you will have to hard reset.
