Thanks,

You could re-map one of your buttons.

To do this try Start - Settings - Personal - Buttons

Choose which button you don't mind changing then from the drop down list at the bottom select rotate screen (7th from the top)

Hope this helps

Lefthanded mode

Could some one please advice me how i can map the ;Lefthanded mode; screen to the hardware buttons cause by default it goes on the right handed mode.

The default orientation-change can be set in...
Start > Settings > |System| > Screen*
(o) Landscape (left-handed)

Then if you open/close the keyboard or use a button mapped to the <rotate screen> option (not an external application*), it should switch between the orientation set there and Portrait mode.

* for external applications, just be sure you downloaded the right one. Some turn by 90 degrees, others by 270 degrees.

I have Vito Button mapper and when i press the hard key assigned to screen rotate,it goes to the right haqnded mode.Any suggestions??

I guess it might be using its own built-in rotation utility, which rotates it the wrong way around? Download one of the screen rotation utilities, I think you need the 270-degrees one

Is there a way to get the screen to rotate without assigning it to a button... ideally I'd like something in the start menu that rotates the screen - if anyone has any ideas if such a program/function exists!

Try this:

[HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
"LandScapeFixed"=dword:00000001
"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000004 or 1

Now press that button

"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000004 = Left Handed
"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000001 = Right Handed

Cheers

Thanks
