320474 2005-02-01 17:31:00 HELP!

Somehow or another, the display on my monitor has been turned 90 degrees counter-clockwise!

I'm not sure how it happened, but I need to get it back to the correct settings - How do I Do this?

OS - WinXP

320475 2005-02-01 18:12:00 it'll be a setting you have somehow changed in the display properties for your video card.......controlpanel/display/settings/advanced/.......etc.... drcspy (146)
320476 2005-02-01 19:29:00 Well, a little research did the trick. I had to find out what kind of card (this problem is on my wifes system in her office). Anyway, to make a long story short, turns out that with that card, you hit Ctrl+Alt and the up/down arrow keys it'll rotate the screen 90 degrees.

Thanks !!

320478 2005-02-01 21:09:00 You can disable hotkeys to prevent this happening. I do it inadvertently all the time. pixeldust (6619)
320479 2005-02-02 16:06:00 PJ,,Thats what I told my wife to do! Just flip it over and I'll deal with it when I get home. But, she had clients coming in and REALLY needed to look professional :thumbs:

And, I did disable those hot-keys. We should be good to go now - COME ON TAX SEASON
