    Envy 17t-3200 Cannot rotate 2nd display

    I am unable to run a second display in portrait mode (off HDMI or DisplayPort)
    I want to rotate my screen 90 degrees (portrait style a widescreen verticle for reading code easier)
    The Catalyst Control Center option is greyed out, it is not available in Display\Screen Resolution either.

    Quick Specs
    HP Envy 17t 3200 Win7 Pro 64bit i7-3610qm 16gb
    Radeon HD 7850M (8.951.9.1000) CCC version 2012.0326.310.3601
    Intel HD 4000 (8.951.9.1000)

    All Video drivers are current, I updated everything today (only had the laptop 30 hours now)

    I read on another forums' thread to regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318\0000 Display1_RotationCaps from the right Side and set to 1

    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/DV7t-with-Radeon-HD-6770M-Can-t-rotate-displ...


    That did not work for me, the entry for Display1_RotationCaps also fell under \0001.
    I also tried to edit Display2_RotationCaps, Display1_PortraitMode and Display2_PortraitMode in various reboots and configurations. No luck on any of these. I even created Display2_PortraitMode as it was not there with no luck.

    I am pretty pissed a common feature is disabled. Also pissed it is shared video when advertised as Radeon HD 7850m 1gb.
    Disabling the Intel HD 4000 disabled the HDMI port.

    And yes I have tried ctrl+alt+arrow keys for rotation.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Same issue for me. I am even running the 12.7 beta drivers. I plugged in a 1080p plasma and cannot rotate. This is kinda strange.

    Try doing the rotation in Intel Graphics Control Panel.

    Tried there. No dice. Maybe a HD4000 issue? Has anyone contacted HP? It doesn't bother me, but an answer would be cool if anyone finds out.
