screen turned sideways - help, how do I turn it back?

babyblooz

Hello, I am typing this sideways because I have done something (don't know what exactly) and the whole flippin' screen has turned sideways, so I have to turn my head to the left to type and read. I have pressed something inadvertently, but don't know how to get it back.

Can anyone help me please!!!

Is it still sideways?

You can rotate the monitor display - it's usually 2 buttons on the side of the mouse that rotate the screen.

What I do (as it's incredibly hard to work sideways!) is turn the monitor on its side. Then move the mouse a blank part of the screen, right click and select properties.

Now click advanced (under the settings tab) and look for the graphics properties.

There should be an option to put the screen back to 0 degrees rotation.

And while you're in there, uncheck the box that allows rotation, to stop it in future.

Try
ctrl + alt + down

down = arrow keys!

Turn your monitor on it's side??

I believe that is done by pressing a couple of keys on the keyboard- I think it will be the Ctrl key and the arrow keys- hold down the Ctrol key and press the right arrow key, hopefully that will do the trick. If not, try the Alt key instead- can't remember which it is off hand.
