T43 Shortcut Key Combination to Rotate Display

[lindsayl284]

Hi,

Apologies if this has already been posted / answered, but I've searched and couldn't find an appropriate solution to my problem.

I've had my T43 work laptop for a few months now, and a while back I stumbled across a key combination which allowed me to rotate the screen's display in all four directions using the arrow keys (no software changes at all.) The combination was something like this:

<?key?> + arrow key

Depending on which arrow key was pressed, the display would rotate a different way. Unfortunately I can't remember this key combination now and it's driving me nuts! It may have been a combination of more than two keys, but the arrow keys were definitely part of it.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Lindsay

Well, OK

Right click on the Desktop and go to Properties, then click the settings tab

After that, click Advanced and then click the "Rotation" Tab and assign a hotkey for the various rotations.

Thanks mate, worked a treat!

Here's exactly what I had to do:

Right click 'Desktop'
-> 'Settings' tab
-> 'Advanced' button
-> 'Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile' tab
-> 'Graphics Properties' button
-> 'Display Settings' tab
-> Check the 'Enable Rotation' checkbox

!

There was also a separate tab for Hot Keys, but they were already pre-assigned.

I think I know what happened now, when I updated my Intel Graphics software, it must have reset the 'Enable Rotation' checkbox.

Thanks again,
Lindsay
