Hardware:
Dell Precision 470

ATI FireGL 3100
Duel Dell FP1920 19" LCD's (one connected through DVI other VGA)

Software:
XP Professional w/SP3
ATI Catalyst Control Center Version: 2008.0429.2159.37434
MS .Net Framework Version: 2.0.50727.1433

I have both monitors rotated 90°-right (clockwise) and everything has worked fine for several years until our company recently did a mandatory MS Windows SP3 update.

When I rotate monitor in the Catalyst Control Center and then try to "Apply" the change, the monitor flickers and the goes back to landscape.

I downloaded the latest unified driver from ATI (8.453.1.3, released on June 10th, 2008) but its doing the same thing. I then tried downloading the Catalyst 8.5 drivers for XP Pro but upon instal it says "No supporting driver found." and aborts install.

MS said the rotation issue is a bug with ATI and that they have notified ATI, but I cant get ATI to respond to my probblem and unfortunately there is no going back to SP2. Nobody seems to want to take responsibility! Please Help.

I have the same issue.

I have a Radeon X1300 in a dual-monitor configuration. Monitor #2 was rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Everything was fine until XP SP3.

After the reboot from the service pack, my rotated monitor was no longer rotated, and ws dropped to 800x600 resolution at 16 colors. I was able to fix the resolution & bit depth, but the ATI Catalyst Control Panel (ver. 6.14.10) refused to let rotation stick!

Next, I updated to the Catalyst 8.6 drivers, but that didn't help either because of another bug (reported two months ago by others, but with no resolution) that causes the Catalyst control panel to constantly open and close. I can't make the rotation adjustment in the 1/2 second that the panel is open.

To ATI: I'm not seeing responses to people's issues in this forum. You need to do a better job of responding.

Its being looked into.

The latest driver released on 7/14/08 solved my rotation probblem.

Hi, I have the same problem. I saw that other people could solve it by installing the latest version of CCC, but when I try to do it I got a message saying that hardware is not detected, and the installation abort.

I have two monitors, one of them bracked on the wall, and I can't use it like that.

Please HELP!!

Similar problems here with a Radeon 9250 on XP.  Was working fine with dual portrait-mode monitors each running in 1024x1280.  After SP3 upgrade, things were seriously hosed (thank goodness for remote-desktop).  Upgraded to latest driver for the 9250 (by going to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx and walking through XP-Pro -> Radeon -> 9250), but that unsurprisingly didn't solve matters, as that ( http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/radeon-prer300-xp.aspx  was listed at version 6.11 instead of 8.5 (the fix has been reported as being in v8.5).

Tried downloading from http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp but when I ran the install, it said it didn't detect appropriate hardware.

That card doesnt get newer drivers than the 6.11 as that card is ancient.  So either buy a newer card or stick to SP2.
