Tablet PC Screen Orientation (by 3 users)

I am able to rotate my screen with the nvidia taskbar support icon. However, on the tablet and pen settings im not able to calibrate the screen when it is in any other angle 90 180 or 270. WIN XP Tablet does not allow the right quadrant to be calibrated. on the display tab i have only the landscape option and none.

I would get back to Compaq's support department, and ask them about a video
driver update.  It would seem that we would be seeing a whole lot of
reports, if this was a real problem with XP and Service Pack 2.

Which graphics setup is on your machine?  You might possibly check THAT
manufacturer's web site to see if they have a more recent driver than Compaq
has, if that is actually the issue.

Not that this will help much, but Compaq support is not being very
supportive.  I have even searched their knowledge base and this problem has
come up more than one time.  It appear that if I want to stop having my
tablet crash when I change resolutions or attempt to change screen
orientation, then I am going to have to uninstall sp2.  That's a shame!  

Have you contacted Compaq's support department via telephone?  Write down
who you speak with, their name, time of day, etc., and ask for a trouble
ticket or case number.  Ask to speak to a supervisor or next level support.
There are plenty of Compaq owners running XP SP2 without the issue.

Take a look in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer, tapping both
Application and System in the left pane to reveal error messages in the
right pane.  Those yellow triangles with exclamation points or red circles
with white X's came be right-clicked with a selection of Properties to
reveal a portion of the error message.  This could lead to a solution.

Does this situation present itself whether you're turning the screen or not?
I.E., does the automatic function cause this to happen or can you create it
by simply selecting a different orientation?  You may just have a connection
loose somewhere, which Compaq should be taking a strong look into the
function.

Are you saying the choices in Control Panel/Tablet and Pen Settings/Display
tab are missing?  What happens when you tap the Change button?  I would make
sure to install/reinstall all drivers available from Compaq since September,
2004.  They're updates for XP SP2:

Sorry for the delay, but I have to have an IT representative help with this
process.  Unfortunantly it did not work.  We called HP and  updated winflash
bios, NVIDIA video driver for xp,  and system enhancement disk for windows xp
2.  Still not able to change orientation.  In fact, whenever I attempt to
change even the resolution, I get a memory dump and the system crashes.

Maybe I will try, "Then one day I got this idea... a software ("pivot") came

My IT rep. says that there is a compatibility issure with service pack 2 and
the video driver.  Compaq says that they have not had any complaints.  Does
Microsoft have any other ideas...
