I have a Toshiba M200. I used to amaze friends by turning my tablet to
different orientations (e.g. portrait to landscape, landscape to portrait),
pressing the screen orientation button, and having the screen automagically
change to the correct orientation. The Dual Axis Accelerometer was really
cool...

It's not happening any longer - nothing happens when I push the screen
orientation (ESC) button. When I go to Tablet and Pen Settings screen, I
don't see any options to fix this for the ESC button. Is there a setting
somewhere to enable the
accelerometer?

How do I get this cool feature back?

Here goes...

1. Verify that the Toshiba Rotation Utility is installed.

2. Make sure the Disable Rotation Utility box is unchecked on the Set
Orientation page in the Toshiba Rotation Utility.

3. Verify that the display orientation is not locked. It's possible to
accidentally lock the orientation:

"The Escape key, located between the Cross-Functional button and the Windows
Security button on the front of the display can "lock" the display in its
current display setting - landscape or portrait." - Portege M200 User's
Guide, p 183


Hope this helps.

Jonathan Groves
