screen of my x61 tablet not rotating :(

#1 Post by sco1984 » Tue Aug 23, 2011 6:15 am

Hello,

Just received refurbished X61 tablet from US.
I finished installing Win 7 ultimate 64 bit edition just now.
I goggled and tried search here about similar problem.

Here in 1 thread system 4.0 update is suggested but unfortunattly I am unable to find it.
And where can I find drivers for the touch screen?
I am at "Drives and Download" page but not sure inside which catagory it resides.
I explored most of the categories but it's not their.
This tablet has Win vista business and screen wasnt rotating when I press the rotate button.
I thought it's limitation of Professional edition but in Ultimate also same problem.
Tries settings from control panel no luck.

Any suggestions/hints what to do now?

Regards,
Amey.

Thanks. Got it. Now almost finished installing,updating drivers etc via "ThinkVantage System Update 4.x".
After reboot I'll know if it resolved screen rotating problem or not :)


Update: No. Need to do that manually. :oops:
Do I need to install Windows updates too?
Update manager was showing some windows updates [ patches ] which I excluded.

Final Update: WOW ! It worked !!! I found "Screen rotate driver" option in "Optional updates" tab.

Thanks to you and to other member who suggested to update using system update 4.x 8)

Cheers,
Amey.
