Please help! My daughter was fiddling with computer keys on our PC (Windows XP) and the desktop suddently turned sideways! I have not yet found how to turn it back the right way! Help!
 
Well, Um no big deal. I had a Computer that could do that, All you have to do is hold these key combinations down Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow, or Up arrow. Also, Ctrl+Alt+ Left/Right Arrow, would make it flip left and right.
 
You should be able to rotate the display in your video cards control panel as well but getting there with a mouse can be a little mind boggling when the screen is rotated :)
 
thank you, I have turned my monitor back the right way now as we had turned it to avoid cricked necks! All sorted thanks again.
 
anybody know why some computers do this and others don't? for example i can do this with the computers at school, which is weird because they are so tied down you can barely do anything else; like can't right-click, or open 'my computer'.
at work some of my co-workers can do theirs, but i can't do mine. i also can't do it at home. is there a setting that allows you to use the ctrl+alt+arrow shortcut?
all using windows xp, with 4:3 lcd screens.
just wondering.
