    So a client of mine came over with their new X201 T. So I proceded to put it in tab mode and play with it awhile etc. Now that darn thing always boots into portrait mode no matter what I do. Once you log in then it rotates upside down then after about 30 secs to rotates to normal. I have tried all the settings from the reg windows 7 stuff, the Intel crap, and even using the button on the screen to rotate the screen to the correct manner. However nothing I do matters. Soon as you reboot it does it again. So now my client things her lappy is all messed up "sigh" when infact I'm sure its just a setting I'm missing, not to menchen its embarrassing as hell. What had me puzzled is why just putting the thing in tab mode would cause this. Anyway if anyone can help that would be great,

    Thanks

    I have no experience with t-models, so here is along shot: I use ctrl+alt+ arrow keys to alter the portrait/landscape modes. Perhaps trying ctrl+alt+up arrow will make it snap out of it.
