Help! I don't know what I did but I accidentally pressed something on
my keyboard and now my whole desktop and everything is rotated! I've
had to turn my monitor, it's lying on it's side. I've tried re-booting
but it keeps coming up this way. I'm so frustrated!
Anyone know how to bring things back to normal? Please answer ASAP,
I'm desperate!
 
Britta,

Right click on the Desktop, select Properties, choose the Settings Tab, and then
select the Advanced button in the lower right area of the box, then go to the
tab that is related to your video system, explore there and you'll find the
video settings to rotate the screen. Look for one that also disables the rotate
screen shortcut keys.

Turn the monitor back on it's base.

Post back with the results.
 
Thanks, I ended up going to settings, control panel, Intel GMA driver.
It was so weird though, all the choices on the menu tabs had been
replaced by nothing but question marks. I did find one thing that
said 90, 180, 270 so I figured that was it and played around till it
was back to normal. I couldn't really read much since most text was
just displayed as ????????????
Never saw that before. Intel GMA driver is the only menu that's doing
that. Any ideas?
