    I can choose landscape for tablet mode and it does, indeed, rotate 180 degrees when the lid is flipped over. The problem is I can't tick the radio buttons in either one of the portrait choices for tablet mode. I can for laptop mode. The choices are greyed out for tablet even if I choose any one of the modes in laptop mode.
    (see Attachment).

    So i cannot view 90 degrees portrait angle in Tablet mode.

    Works perfectly with rotation tool button in Laptop Mode(Can view all 90,180,270 angles)

    Did Read this from a previous post:First, you have the "Keep Angle" radio button clicked, so try to check "Primary Landscape" for laptop mode, and "Secondary Landscape" in Tablet mode. Let us know if that helps...



    Also anyone know how i can get windows 7 working on my cf19 mk1 touchscreen.Does anyone have a disc or show me how to do this.
    i currently have Windows XP SP3 installed (legal Copy)


    Thanks for the help

    Thanks Capt.Dogfish,


    You think windows 7 for a newbie is possible,it looks quite a lot from the link??
    Dumb question,after i get all drivers where do i get windows 7 from?
    is it better to wipe windows xp off current disc? and start afresh?
    have you done windows 7 update on cf19 mk 1?

    thanks for the help

    "Possible" depends on your level of skill and your patience with the latter being more important. There are lots of very knowledgeable people here who will help you, especially if you have done the ground work before you start asking for help. You get W7 from any legitimate source, your MK1 didn't ship with 7 so you'll have to at least buy a license. Take your time and read then reread the thread, its not all that straight forward but the forum members who worked it out have done most of the legwork. And yes, I am running W7 ultimate on a CF-19 MK1.
