I am currently haveing to tilt my head sideways to use my computer. the
display on my moniter has turned 90 degrees and i have no idea how it
happend, or how to fix it.. please help
 
A. Pick up the monitor and set it on its side. Lots of people actually
like portrait mode displays.

B. Try pressing the control key and each of the up/down/left/right arrows
till you get what you want.

C. Right click on the desktop, select properties, advanced tab, look for
special controls for your display card that will include a screen rotation.

Hi Kerri:
Did you get your problem fixed? A friend of mine is having the same problem
and we're not sure what to do. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

Right-click (downward-click in your case I guess!!) an empty space on your
desktop, then Properties/Settings/Advanced.... somewhere in there is most
likely a setting that needs changing.
 
If it's not there, see if there is a separate bunch of options for your
video card. I know Nvidia allows you to rotate your display.

Good thing it didn't do a 180 or you'd have to stand on your head to read
it.
 
First thing to try is control+arrow keys (left or right) Sometimes these
are set as shortcuts to the display rotation function.

I just had the same problem today and would like to know what really causes
this! I did a system restore to correct the problem but it is driving me
crazy to know how it happened in the first place. I had left my laptop laying
on the couch.....went to work.....came home and I find my dog laying on
it......and there ya go - screen is sideways! When I was trying to fix the
problem (before the system restore) I used my FN key and F8, at which time my
computer would flip horizontally but would not stay. Anyhow, if anyone knows
what applies this change to begin, I would greatly appreciate hearing from
you!
