Screensaver 3D Flying Objects w/Windows Logo Runs Sideways

[Guest]

Is there a fix for this problem? This is happening on XPSP2, Intel 82865G
video chipset. This started happening after I installed the latest Google
Earth. Only this screensaver is running sideways. Everything else is upright.

My desktop is also upright.

The screensaver works correctly when I'm in the screensaver tab with little
monitor showing the 3D Flying Objects with Windows Logo, But preview runs
sideways. This also happen when I choose Texture Flag as the object style. .

Thanks

Just a couple of thoughts..

I recently read that if your screen is running in a resolution that is
incompatible with the monitor, it could rotate on you. As a test,
change the screen resolution, and try again.

Some graphics cards will let you rotate the display. Specific key
combinations will allow you to rotate the display, usually
Ctrl/Alt/Up-cursor or Ctrl/Shift/R. There may be others. Although you
can't try those combinations without kicking out of screen saver mode,
you can look through the Display Properties and turn those features off.

Thank you Elmo, I changed the screensaver display mode to something else and
the screeensaver work rightside up, I changed the screensaver display mode
back and the screensaver when sideways again. This was pretty weird. Thanks
again
