Screen rotate 90 degrees

[Edmund]

Dear All,

I am a user of WinXP pro. My son wrongly press some keys
on the keyboard, then the screen suddenly rotate 90
degrees and I don't know how to resume back.

The problem still appear after I rebooted the PC. Please
advise what can I do to resume back to normal? Any hot
key to rotate the screen?

Thanks &
Regards,
Edmund

Hi, Edmund.

What make and model computer/monitor/graphics card? Your answer is likely
to be specific to your hardware.

But you might try to see what settings are available in Display Properties.

Hmmmm... I got it! Turn the monitor on it's side (90 degrees in the opposite
direction)... and viola! :-D

Or better, right-click on the desktop and choose Properties.
There should be a setting there to fix this. Cello!

Why don't you just restore it back to where it was

working right.

Have you tried the controls of the monitor itself?

This is due to video card settings.
right click on desktop>properties>settings tab>advanced button>look for
NVRotate and click it and from there you can refix the settings.

Try Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow. Many graphics cards use Ctrl-Alt with the arrow keys
as hotkeys for rotating the display.

Hi RC,

My WinXP is come from HP Evo 330m, the display card is
Intel 82865(built-in) and the monitor is Compaq V500(CRT).
I read through the Display Propertys setting, but it seems
no option related to the feature of screen rotation.

Thanks &
Regards,
Edmund
