    I have an Acer Aspire 5570Z laptop with Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset graphics and cannot find a proper driver under Windows 7 or Vista that allows me to rotate the screen. any help appreciated.

    I am currently using the 8.15.10.1912 Intel driver dated 9/2009. It has the same graphics chip as the Acer 3680 line as well so if anyone has success enabling screen rotation under Vista/Win7 please let me know. Thanks!

    AFAIK all Intel drivers have that function.. that is the GMA950, right? You did check on the graphics properties, did you?

    Yes it is a GMA950 but unfortunately there is no way to rotate the screen, as I said. No option or ability so far so I'm looking for someone that has either a 5570z/5570/3680 laptop that knows how to enable this, if possible. Checked everywhere, no rotate screen / change orientation anywhere.

    Bios version is 1.3223.
