I own a Dell 24 and I'm running Vista and having trouble getting it into portrait mode. Doesn't it automatically switch to portrait when you rotate the monitor?

Any help is appreciated.

no, you will need to rotate the image in the CCC. if you look at the tray icon you can rotate the monitor from there, just rotate ninety degress to the left and it will look right with the monitor rotated, alot of web pages i find look a hell of a lot better due to lazy web dev's.

Yea, I don't know of any non-professional grade monitors for intel/amd PCs that auto rotate the image when you rotate the panel.

an easy way to do it is with the ATI hotkeys so you just rotate it and hit lets say ctrl + alt + some key then you don't have to go into ccc all the time.
