The Rotate control on my new iMac DV doesn't work. All the other screen geometry settings in the Monitors control panel work fine, except for the two Rotate buttons. I push them, but the screen image doesn't rotate. It needs about a 2 degree nudge clockwise, and it's driving me nuts!

I upgraded to Mac OS 9.0.4 as soon as I got the iMac out of the box, so it could be a problem with that version.

Any ideas?

try trashing the Display pref's and the Monitor pref's and restart

if that didn't help then maybe zap PRAM and NVRAM both... this is done by using the key combination used for zapping the PRAM from a cold start, i.e., fully powered down

Thanks wlonh,

I tried all of the above, but with no effect on the malfunctioning rotate control.

For some reason the version of the Monitors control panel I have is 8.5.1. I assume this is OK because it came off the software restore CD with my iMac DV.

The rotate control didn't work before I started fiddling around with extensions and tweaking other settings, so it's unlikely to be a conflict.

Any other ideas would be welcome.
