I was in Word attempting to create a Spanish letter 'n'
with a tilde sign over it by keystrokes. The keystrokes
for this are Alt + 0241. For unknown reasons, instead of
the 'n', my screen went blank for a few seconds and came
back with everything rotated 90 degrees. I can't seem to
repeat the phenomenon but don't really care how it
happened. I need to find out how to rotate the screen
back to its proper orientation. I'm running Windows XP on
a COMPAQ desktop pc.
 
Open the graphics properties and you should find a setting
to rotate the display. You might have to look for the
correct place, it could be graphics or display.

I had the same thing happen yesterday.
Using Mplayerc, I had to reorient myself
and right click on the desk top
click on properties, settings and reset the
screen resolution to 1024 x 768.

On at least one resolution the screen is normally shifted 90 degrees.
I have a 21 inch IBM monitor and xp with dual disks and wireless.

Was it a virus, for April 1?
My a/v softwares both say no, adware and spybot can't find anything
amiss either.
