Why can't I rotate monitor on XP side

We bought Mac Pro. (Hoping to replace all Dells in the office with Macs running Windows.) Have ATI 1900 so can run two monitors. Both are the nice Dell rotating montors. We run them side by side in portrait because we read documents all day.
Problem is they won't rotate on XP side. There is supposed to be a tab that says "rotate" in the display control panel. But it's not there. How in the heck can I rotate the monitor on the XP side.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Glad I could help~
As with anything to do with Windows, finding and updating drivers and such is still something you need to find and the Apple BootCamp 2.0 drivers don't include the full set for Mac Pro it seems.
There are a number of people with setups like yours, some post here, some in the Windows Compatibility discussion, and then some in the BootCamp forum.
It is interesting to see how common, and many, are finding the Mac (Pro) as a "better" or good alternative box for Windows (runs Vista nicely, too) or where being able to run Windows and Mac side by side inside OS X or on the same system (just can't run OS X in a VM except maybe OS X Server running multiple server VMs).

HT1947 Why can't I rotate "remote" on my iPad envy more?

Why can't I rotate remote on my iPad envy more? It's very ennoying when you want to have the label of the music playing on full screane and iPad standing up, then it showed 90 deg offset!
It worked before the update to iOS 7.0. Hope Apple will fix this issue sone :)

That's because it hasn't been released for the iPad. Ask the developers why...

Why can't I rotate/select my group?   Known bug? (CS5)

I have a group of a few layers that I wanted to resize.   As they are in a group and I only want to resize the object, not the picture, I select the move tool, than try to choose 'Edit->Resize'... and get a message telling me there's nothing in my group -- even though I see the object.
Is this another instance of the photoshop ignoring vectors?
Here's a pic of my panel and the object:
This seems like a similar problem to the other bug I found... I don't suppose Adobe ever releases patches?

I converted about half-75% of my layers to vectors, but the rest I need to as paintable surfaces. I just want the default backgrounds to take 1k vs. 64M.   I have Illustrator, it's impossible to draw with -- inkscape is better than that! If I was doing drafting, it might be what I needed, but I'm trying graphic arts with painting and effects -- and I need 64-bits I think since with 48G, photoshop uses up to 36 of that before it will spill with a 100-150GB swap file.
My file was over 3G, without converting to vector layers would have been 4-5GB, (tiff), after converting nearly all the static monocolor layers and gradient layers to vectors, the file shrunk to 250MB.
It looks cleaner, it's easier to modify things... easier to reposition parts, the problem is that vector elements don't hold or glom on to other vector elements -- the group that I'm trying to maniupulate is composed of pure vector elements... vector shapes (all the same one actually, I was trying to get it manipulatable, but no success).   If I rotate the vectors, none of the gradients (or other vectors) rotate with respect the vector I rotate -- even though they are all locked together. When I translated them x-y, the centers of the gradients didn't move, even though they are relative to the layer and not to the edges of the picture.
They are different -- you can see this -- if I disable the vector from a gradient layer, the graident's center shifts to the center of the picture... i.e. a gradient with a transition at the 50% mark oriented vertically, will be at position 2000,0 - 2000,4000, (x,y), (in a 4000x4000 picture) with the vectore turned off. But with it activated, the center will be at the center of the bounds of the graident layer when you create it. But if you move it -- it won't move.
If you rotate it , it won't rotate, nor will other linked vectors in the group.
I think that's the same problem with this -- as far as the "rotation/manipulation" s/w is concerned, the vectors and graidents "don't exists"...that's why they say their is nothing in the selection field and that's why they don't rotate vectors or gradients along with their bitmapped accents.
In this case, I built a hair-holder, purely out of gradients and shapes -- turned out much better than my hand painted one. For many things, I can't use gradients (or if I did, would take way too many layers...) At 500+ layers, photoshop groans unless I turn most of them off.   A paint/brush stroke can take up to a minute (it only uses 2 out 6 cores max, for filling these in)..   It can't handle that many layers unless they are off. Why it doesn't process them in parallel -- and why it doesn't do a better job of knowing most of them don't contribute to the area I'm drawing in is beyond me.
Maybe it's the same problem -- since it doesn't see the vector stuff (gradents, fill layers, shapes, vector masks), maybe it doesn't schedule them on multiple processes.
pfaffenbichelr --
All of those masks are vector masks. No bitmapped graphics in that group anywyhere.
Did you create your example with only vector masks and gradients (or the photog effects).....I think
if I put a bit map layer in there, it would rotate the bitmap layer, but then mixed results on others stuff.
As for reviving old questions... I doubt it would help... they are easily duplicated bugs that Adobe doesn't really want to fix. If they did, they'd contact me and tell me where to upload my files... and when I could test out my patch.
I'd love it if they'd fix these problems, but I'm not holding my breath...

Why can I not rotate and re-save iPhone photos once I import them to my PC? They are not being saved into a Read-Only folder. And why can't I open them or save them when I email them to myself?

Hi I'm having trouble with the photos from my iPhone.
When I import them to my PC, it won't let me rotate them and re-save them. It says that there is a problem with the file's properties or they may be in a read-only folder. The latter is not the case.
I have tried opening them in several programmes but Windows Photo Viewer is default
Also when I email them to myself I can't open them or save them down to my computer.
Is there a setting on my iPhone that I should change that is impacting on the photo's file properties? This has only just started happening.
Thanks!
Cameron

Why can't I rotate multiple points in puppet warp at the same time?

You can rotate single points in puppet warp, and you can shift+click to select multiple points and move them at the same time but I see no way to rotate multiple points as one group using puppet warp. This would be a very helpful feature I think should be added.

Why can't I rotate just part of my video in iMovie 11?

I recorded a video on my iPhone 4S and part way through someone turned it around. I have uploaded it to iMovie 11, hoping I can rotate just part of the video that was turned the wrong way, but I can't find a way to do this, as it rotates the entire clip. Surely there is a capacity to select part of the video and rotate just that? Any help appreciated.

split the clip into 3 parts
cmd-shift-S
turn the seperated part .....

Why can't I Rotate the pictures in my stationary?

I think the subject says it all but if you need more... When I dragged the photos in the photo areas within the stationary all of my pictures rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. And I don't know how to put them to their rightful alignment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I dont think you can do this (yet). At least, I cant do it either. The best solution would be to crop and rotate the picture in Preview or iPhoto and then drag it into the stationary.

Why can't I rotate the photo in new keynote?

Dear,
When I upgrade my keynote to new version. I found I have loss some characteristics of keynote which amazed me before.
One of those is that I can't rotate the photo in my slide, just like I did that before in the previous version.
Another is I can't have any preview of the module while I choose theme. This is also lost.
Anyone has the same feeling with me?

To rotate a graphic, click on it... then click the command key on your keyboard (usually next to the option key)... then hover over any corner of your graphic to turn the cursor into a double-arrowed line... just drag it and watch your graphic rotate...
... Or, click on the graphic and choose the "Arrange" tab - this brings up the Rotate option (towards the bottom).

I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)

I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)? I know that the monitor is able to accept this resolution but It can't seem to find it. Is it something to do with the new thunderbolt port? or the fact that I'm utilizing the VGA adaptor? I could go HDMI if that works better.

Use DVI or HDMI.
VGA runs out of steam after a while.

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project. I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there. When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine. But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing. Help!

Many thanks for the reply with the details.
But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back

Hi sydneyp,
Unfortunately there is no Mobile App for the Blackberry Forums, However there is a mobile version of the site if it isn't accessible by the built in browser I would recommend downloading and trying another browser like Opera this will give you access to the Mobile version of the forums
I hope this helps

HT5019 Why can I not find a miniport to external monitor cable that works? I have bought for different types, two from Apple, cost me $300+ and still have no external monitor. Help, please.

Why can I not find a miniport to external monitor cable that works? I have bought for different types, two from Apple, cost me $300+ and still have no external monitor. Help, please.

What have you bought?
What model Mac are you running?
What input sources are available on the display you are connecting it to?

Can I connect 2 monitors to a Mac Mini?

I am thinking of buying a Mac Mini for an art installation project and will need to connect two monitors to it. Please can someone let me know if I can connect more than 1 monitor to a Mac mini. Can they be 19" monitors or must they be smaller resolution? Do they have to be of a particular specification? Any recommendations? Thanks very much.

A simple splitter would theoretically support anything up to the mini's maximum resolution, but in practice it depends on the actual displays being used as the whether the mini correctly identifies the devices and offers the correct range of resolution options. Some juggling (such as disconnecting one display while the system boots or wakes from sleep) can help, but it really does depend on the display(s) as to whether the mini behaves correctly via a splitter of this sort.
The Matrox device is technically far better because it presents itself to the mini as a single display, but of course it limits maximum resolution across both screens, and thus isn't really all that attractive a proposition unless 15" LCDs are to be used rather than anything larger.
The USB-based device seems to offer the best of both worlds - or at least will offer the best of both worlds when released with tried and tested Mac drivers. It's not all that clear why Mac drivers have been slow in coming for these devices when they have been around for Windows for some time now, and a number of manufacturers had pre-announced Mac versions as much as a year ago. At the general price of $99 or so, a USB adaptor would provide a reasonably low cost and (importantly) flexible way to add a second display.... if such a device can be currently had!
The forgoing is the reason the 'yes' answer is not the short one!

Seriously Apple, why can't Leopard render a transparent menu bar on my Mac?

I have a 2-year-old PowerBook 12" 1.5 GHz running Leopard 10.5.2 freshly updated today. I thought for sure I'd get to see a translucent menu bar but, no, still opaque as ever with no option to change.
Apple, let me tell you some of the things this pretty capable computer can do:
-Dynamically render transparency and reflections in a magnifying Dock
-Dynamically render transparency in Terminal windows with varying levels of transparency
-Render GPU-intensive animations such as Genie effect, rotating cube, and dashboard "splash"
-Hey, I can even boot into Linux, run Gnome, and make it's menu bar transparent!
Please stop telling me my computer is not compatible enough to display a translucent menu bar. Displaying the transparency in the menu bar has got to be one of the least intensive operations Leopard will do. It is a static image (save for seldom changing menu items) that rarely needs to be re-rendered. Terminal windows, however, get resized, dragged around and display their transparency beautifully.
Let's get some straight answers as to why this simple issue of getting a Transparent menu bar consistently displayed (ot not displayed, by choice) across all of your "compatible" hardware is such a confusing mystery.
Thanks for fixing the Stacks, at least.

Thanks for your input. While you may not mind a solid menu bar, I quite like it and would like to have one. My main gripe however, is the fact that this really just seems like some bug that Apple isn't willing to focus on, or admit to.
They say the graphics card can render "most effects" but not the menu bar. But, seriously, as I've mentioned before, why can it render transparent drop-down menus, transparent Terminal windows, transparent/reflective Dock, Dashboard ripple effect but not a simple, basic, transparent menu?
Once I get a decent answer to this, I'll be satisfied. Because right now, telling me my 64MB graphics card can't handle it seems like a load of bulls**t.
