Title: Help!! Monitor problem!
Post by: stansnig on September 24, 2011, 12:55:13 AM
Hi
my 8 year old daughter was playing on the PC anbd has managed to turn the display clockwise by 90 degrees.  I'm getting a crick in my neck typing this.  how do i get it back?
Any ideas?  I have tried every button combination.  Going in search of muscle relaxation gel!

Thanks
Stan

Do you mean the physical monitor itself turned 90 degrees or just the display on the screen?

If you're runnign Windows 7 jsut right click on the desktop, choose screen resolution and make sure "Orientation" is set the landscape.

We used to do this to people in the office. It's a real pain in the neck to sort out if you haven't come across that particular command before (pun intended).

Glad you sorted it.
