Default Screen Rotation (Gateway Laptop)

I just purchased a Gateway laptop computer and would like adjust the screen
orientation. I was able to locate this feature under the tablet PC
settings. The problem I have is that only one screen orientation is
available (Primary Landscape Setting).

Is there something I need to do to enable the other screen orientation
options?

I have used other laptops that have as many as 4 screen orientation options.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Orientation is a function of the display driver, have you checked with
Gateway for an updated one for the system?

Usually when you can't rotate your tablet it is driver related. Check for a
newer or at least a different video driver for your tablet. There is also a
utility that worked for some in the Vista beta called iRotate. Google for it
if you want to see if that helps.
