Maybe try googling your phone type and "pics sideways"?
I would look for you but it's late and I'm off to bed.

Can't you just rotate them with windows picture viewer?

That always works with imported pix from my camera.

I'm going to re-install Windows 7 on a laptop and was wondering about this:
It has a 32 bit and 64 bit disc included (and a drivers disc).

Is it possible to install 32 or 64 bit with the same OEM key (I suppose so since both came included)?

And should I install 32 or 64?

I mean would 64 get me into trouble with some 32 bit programs?

Thanks for any help.

Anyone who can help?

Additional info

laptop has a Core I3 350m,4 Gb of ram.

I will also add an ssd (Samsung 840 Evo)

I've sent your question to a friend of mine. He might know. With a bit of luck we might get a reply tomorrow.

There is no point running x86 unless you have 3 gig of ram or less, You have 4 gig of ram so install x64,All x86 programs are installed to a 32 bit folder-Program Files(x86) so there are no problems.
I'm not sure about the key though as i got my windows 7 free from my office kms server and don't have to worry about keys

Bruno, my mate came back with this answer for you.

If the Laptop has a 64bit Processor then there is no reason not to use the 64Bit version of Windows. I have yet to come across a program that wouldn’t work on it so unless he is tinkering in some majorly old stuff he will be fine.

You can install either under the same licence key but if he has registered a version before he may have to contact Microsoft to convince them he isn’t running multiple copies. They are usually pretty good about it all.

He builds computers, he built my PC in fact,and has a job teaching computer programming with the local council.
