Yes, I am.

Yes.  That is quite useful when working with text.

I am using Windows XP Professional with an ATI Radeon 7000 series card and
Pivot Pro screen-control software.  I have not had any problem.  I can let
you know that it does work in some configurations.  Unfortunately, I don't
have the experience or knowledge to suggest why it is not working in your
configuration.

I do suggest that you install the latest patches for Windows XP, the latest
video drivers for your card, and the latest version of any software you are
using to rotate the screen image.  Of course, that is only a guess.

Does your configuration work OK when the monitor is in its landscape
orientation?
