Odd but severely annoying problem
Hey there. I'm sitting here with a macBOOK, operating in Windows XP. So far, the macBOOK has been an extremely reliable computer, but it does have one gigantic and very annoying oddity: The graphics card (at least I think that's what's doin' it) rotates the view of certain older games 90, 180 or 270 degrees.

It happens with Pandemonium, for example, which wouldn't be the biggest loss, except that it also happens with Baldur's Gate (now, you understand my horror!).

I can change the view by right-clicking at my desktop, but that only changes things when I'm out of the program. As soon as I enter BG; desktop and my adventurers are turned upside-down. Someone who knows what I can do?

Mac OSX, but as I said, I'm running Windows XP mainly.

I had help on another forum; seems I could turn of the rotation in the graphicscard. Thanks anyways!
