PC problem

Just got email from a friend saying that after there cat had walked across keyboard the monitor output has gone from landscape to portrait, i.e. rotated 90 degrees.....she's had to turn the monitor on its side to use it! Any ideas what could have caused this? (apart from the cat!)

p.s. It's Windows XP

 

Do you mean the toolbar at the bottom? if so just hold the left click in & move it back.

 

(babyhaha) shoot the frigging cat....(nodding2fingers) horrible creatures ....

 

No

The entire monitor output has rotated 90 degrees.....gone from landscape to portraint so they've had to rotate the monitor 90 degrees to view it.

I've found online that XP does support portrait orientated screens so it's obviously some simple key combination that sets it

 

Don't know the answer but.......

I read that in the current issue of Computeractive.....

Positive I have, but definately seen the same somewhere before apart from here


Just thought I would share that

 

RE: Don't know the answer but.......

try CTRL+ALT+ LEFT OR RIGHT ARROW

 

Cheers

Found this
Somewhere in Display Properties => Settings => Advanced in the tab for your graphics card should be an option to Rotate the screen.

Ctrl - Alt - Up /Down/left/right

Should get it there. one of the combinations use down last. try the others first/

 

Cheers....I'll get them to try that...can't test it myself cause I'm not on XP!
