X41 tablet autorotate disable?

#1 Post by thinklogic » Thu Jan 07, 2010 12:03 am

I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable the auto-rotate functionality on the X41 Tablet running XP Pro Tablet PC? I would like to stick to purely manual mode if possible. Any ideas?

It should be in the tablet shortcut menu.

After some head scratching, I finally came to the "Doh!" moment.
The setting is in the ThinkVantage settings menu, not Tablet PC settings box. Another access way is to press the setting button on the screen, and go to the very bottom where it says "Settings". There's a check box to orientate "Auto Screen Rotation".
