Landscape Mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emuslayer]

How does one enter landscape mode????????????

by buying landscape mode software.... I use Nyditot Virtual display but there are others, some may be free I think. do a search at the top of the page.

There is some free programs out there. But DO NOT use pocket top. I used it and if you stick it in landscape mode you will not be able to enter your password and will be forced to do a hard reset..

i haven't tried that program but most of them only need a soft reset to go back to the normal screen. Some have a setting that allows that to be overridden but I would never try that for the very reason you have stated.

yea i had the problem with pockettop a long long time ago, instead of hard reset, i plugged my dell keyboard and put the password ;)

Pockettop drivers work fine for landscape, as long as you don't have your Axim password protected. I don't use a password, and have never had a problem out of those drivers.

However, I now use Nyditot Virtual Display instead. It has a lot more customization. The Pockettop drivers are free, but it's pretty much just Landscape or Portrait, and that's the only features offered.

Yeah i tried to use my keyboard to type in my password but it didnt work, probably because i had a that quick 4 button password that you tapped.

I use the brogram i put in my "best" list.
JS Landscape x

It not only changes the screen to landscape, but it also changes the resolution of the screen, makeing the screen look smoother.
It gets up to 1024 x 768.

It is also at a price that cant be beat, coming at 10$.
I like it, and personally recommend it.
:approve:

Just curious, but why isn't something so generically important as the ability to rotate into landscape mode, already automatically included within Microsoft's Pocket PC operating system?????
