Aspire S7-391 orientation hotkey / screen rotate

danlat1415

Hi all,

 

I've wiped my system and done a fresh clean install on Windows 8 then upgraded to 8.1

All the drivers on Acer site have been loaded and work fine in both Windows 8 and 8.1

There are no issues with any of the devices in device manager.

 

 

My only problem is the screen rotate/orientation hotkey doesn't work (Fn + O)

Luckily I'm able to still rotate the screen up and down using Intel's hotkey of Ctr + Alt + Up/Down.

 

 

Does anyone know how to get the Acer hotkey (Fn + O) working? Is there a specific driver or setting?

It's a real shame that I can't use the full 90/180/270 orientation that Acer promote as one of the features of the S7.

 

 

Acer - please help.

(before anyone says, no I can't do a system restore of Acer's recovery as I wiped the hard drive completely to free up all the space due to it only being 128gb)

I believe you may need 'Launch Manager' installed and working.
If you don't have it, download and install.

 

Also check that it is being loaded at startup:

Click Start and, in search field, enter 'msconfig'

Click 'msconfig.exe'
Select 'Startup' tab and confirm 'Launch Manager' is in the list and that it is checked.
