Problem with screen

Hello,

My friends computer has gone a bit crazy but I don't know how to help. Can anyone help?????

When she turns the computer on the whole of the windows screen is facing the wrong way, it has turned around. The start menu is now up the right hand side of the screen.

The computer isnt a new one and im not sure if her daughter may have messed about with a few things and accidently turned it around by pressing something or if it has done it itself.

I have tried going through a few things myself but nothing has yet worked.

All suggestions very gratefully recieved.

Thank you.

  • if it is just the start menu, put the mouse over it, and drag it down to the bottom
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • Hi,

    you could try using the Ctrl + Alt + up/down, left/right keys, lets you swivel display, just the kinda key combination that your friends daughter could've used, little fingers.

    Good luck.
