Screen flipped on its left side... HELP!

Guest

I've encountered a problem with my PC--I'm typing this on another one.
Simply: I had my keyboard in my lap and after a short while, it began to
fall. I used my legs (thighs) to catch it but my thighs hit a certain unknown
key sequence. The second it was caught, my ENTIRE screen--including the XP
setup and accoung login--flipped to its left. I've tried to modify it but
nothing seems to work. I used Windows Update and I'm currently using SP2. How
would I flip my screen back to normal? Right now, the normal top is on the
left and the normal time etc. are on the right side of my screen. How do I
straighten it?

The only major change I've done prior to that was when I changed the
language to supoport writing w/ French accents. The change apparently did
nothing to affect the computer; this was done at least 30 minutes before the
problem occured.

This is a setting on your Graphics card and there is usually a keyboard
shortcut. Try pressing Alt+Ctrl+ either left or right arrow.
If this doesn't work right click an empty area of desktop and if there may
be an option for your graphics card properties in the context menu (ie.
NVIDIA Display) and open this and look for an option 'Rotate' in the
graphics settings.
If there is no option for your graphics card in the context menu select
properties to bring up 'Display Properties' and in the settings tab click
'Advanced' to get to your Graphics card options again looking for an option
to Rotate the screen.
There may also be an icon for your Graphics card options in the Notification
area.

Hope this Helps,

Simon.
