Help! My Computer Screen Has Turned On It's Side!

by Hamida Harland
7 replies
My four year old's just been messing with the computer and whatever he's pressed has made the entire screen turn on it's side. It's probably something simple but if anyone could tell me what to press to turn it back again I'd be really grateful. Whatever he's done the resolution settings are all messed up as well.
Thanks

    Or CTRL+Right or Left arrowkey.

          Wow, I didn't know that trick either. Have to remember that one.

          Think of the people you could mess with with that

          You could be the coworker prank of the month winner for sure.

            My cat did just that a few weeks ago. Walked across the keyboard and hey presto - picture upside down. Try operating the mouse when up is down and left is right!!

                This depends on whether the display rotation functionality exists in your video driver.

                Not all video drivers have this functionality.

                  I got all freaked out just a few weeks ago when one of our kids did the same thing...easy fix, but took me a while to figure it out.
