Doesn't Wm2003 have a landscape mode installed already? If so, how do i use it?

Select "Start", "Settings", "System", "Screen" then choose which orientationtion you prefer.

And you can use the buttons applet in control panel to map a key to rotate screen. I have set my 'home' button to do this and can flip between the 2 modes any time I like

Though actually it is only wm2003 se that has built in landscape support.

i got all excited, that is untill i read that last post by ken. I don't have SE. Sniffle sniffle.

ooops.. Sorry. I think there might be some 3rd party software that will rotate for you though

Works rather well.

Nyditot Virtual Display will allow you to rotate the screen, and also create other virtual display settings which can be good for Pocketdos or dosbox. The only thing I don't like about it is you have to perform a soft reset for the change to take effect. But I think this is true of any software which will allow 2003 to use landscape. Tweak2k.net also has a simple landscape view.

I think only if you have wm 2003 se. garden variety wm 2003 doesn't have it. Since you have an X50, you probably have se, but if it is one of the early ones, you may have to buy the upgrade. Not so bad when you consider that us poor X5 users can't buy even se, let alone wm 5.0...
