    When I flip my laptop's screen around and down into a tablet, the screen automatically rotates to portrait mode. I dont' like portrait mode, and I'm sick of switching back to landscape mode. How can I disable this auto rotate feature and stay landscape all the time?

    thanks

    Figures, I do not see a "Enable rotation" checkbox anywhere. Also, my Intel tab does not say "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile"
    Instead it says "Intel(R) Graphics and Media Control Panel"

    The auto-rotate feature of my laptop just 'broke' all of a sudden and I get a fjcuisdk error message every time I rotate the screen. Trying to fix it makes things worse so I decided to live with it and just disable the auto-rotate thing. I don't have an option to disable the auto-rotate thing either. So I renamed fjrotate.exe and fjrotbtn.exe (probably the first one is all that's necessary) and that's it- no more error message. This will probably do what you want too (i.e. stop the screen from rotating every time you switch configurations). The buttons to rotate the screen still work though.
