Hi,
When I convert from desktop to tablet mode the OS respond by turning of the
screen. This is off course meaningless for a tablet to behave like that. How
can I overwrite this action such that the screen is still on in tablet mode?

I run vista business on a acer c202TMI tablet

Go into Control Panel and in Classic View you will see an icon for Tablet PC
Settings. Open that, and go to the Display tab for the Screen orientation
section. The default listing is Primary landscape. Next to the Sequence...
you'll see a Change... button. Select that, and you'll receive for choices
so you can set the action when you rotate the screen. Make your selections
there, then OK them, Apply on the next screen, then OK again. Exit the
Tablet PC settings and Control Panel, and restart your system.

What you're seeing is the default settings. A lot of people prefer Portrait
display in "Tablet mode."

Hi again,
maybe I did not specified my problem as clear as I should. What I mean is
that the screens turns totaly off when closing the tablet lid. This happens
regardless of how I have specified the screen orientation or how I have
specified the lid close action in the advanced setting of the power
management. Other people also experience this type of problem and the fix so
far:

Disable the 'ACPI Lid' Device
