    I keep getting a Recalibrate Compass pop up window with this netbook on startup in the bottom right.Usually its buried under the tray but not always.

    For those not familiar with this netbook, the screen flips over and it becomes a tablet.

    Now I can disable the accelerometer startup program but without it running when its in tablet mode it will only display one way. Not really a big deal but kinda defeats one of the main features of a tablet, that you can turn it upside down, left or right and the desktop turns along with it.

    There is a "Never show this message again" check box and i do check it but it keeps coming back.

    Guesses?
