| | Screen has rotated 90 degrees and is on its side! Hi! Having a little problem - my Vista has suddenly gone onto it's side! I've tried ctl alt and arrow keys, but this hasn't helped. Any ideas? Thanks! |

| | Re: Screen has rotated 90 degrees and is on its side! Hi, Henry. How 'bout a picture of that? :^} Some monitors allow the display to switch from landscape to portrait mode. This is handy to view long (legal size?) documents to be displayed at their full length. Software must be able to adjust to this too, of course. Do you have such hardware and/or software? When you post back, please tell us at least a few basic facts about your system. Make and model of computer and display monitor might be most helpful. Which version of Vista - might be important. What software might be very important. And what were you doing just before it went onto its side? RC -- R. C.

I've > tried ctl alt and arrow keys, but this hasn't helped. The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video card, to help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait orientation. You accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some arrow key. Rotate it back using those keys. You say you've done this, but I would try it again. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
