So, let me first say that I've only really run windows 7 on my tc1100. I bought it with XP installed, but IMMEDIATELY put windows 7 on it.

That being said, I've had this problem where after maybe an hour (but mostly completely randomly) the buttons on the left (in landscape mode) just start flashing and going off.

This is very annoying. I did a complete upgrade from Windows 7 alpha to beta, and I never installed the driver for the buttons for this exact reason.

I have also since seen the buttons flash at the left, so I'm just wondering if this is a common problem and if there is some remedy.

I'm really hoping it's not some weird hardware problem I got unlucky with...

Also, how do I switch between landscape and portrait without this button? Can I make a shortcut somewhere else too?
