■ Playback of motion picture, such as a case of DVD-Video playback
on the computer connecting an external DVD-ROM Drive.
■ The screen cannot rotate in one of the following cases. Quit the running
application and then rotate the screen:
■ Running of the application that changes the screen resolution
dynamically (such as a game that is execute on full-screen mode)
■ DOS prompt in full-screen mode
■ Running of 3D screen saver
■ Do not play 3D game software or replay DVD-Video on the screen other
than Primary landscape. An abnormality will appear on the Windows
screen display when you replay a DVD-Video on the screen other than

saver is running. In such a case, press any key in the laptop mode to
