===================================
The Auto-Rotate option in a camera is usually
controlled by the position (orientation) of the
camera when the picture is taken...not the
graphic content of the picture.

Maybe the following links will offer some ideas:

Windows Vista -
Why doesn't the Photo Gallery
automatically rotate all of my photos?

Windows Vista -
What does it mean to rotate pictures on import?
