hELP- MY COMPUTER SCREEN IMAGE IS ROTATED 90 DEGREES

I came home and the image on the screen is rotated 90 degrees to the left. Craziest thing I ever saw. Can anyone help me?

My son was playing games on line and then said it just changed to the side.

thanks

Put the computer by your bed.

tilt the monitor 90 degrees in the other direction.

its in your settings, right click on your desktop, go to properties, then on the far right tab it will say settings, it should be in there, or if there is an advance tab inside of that, go in there and you find it =p

Interesting… there is probably some kind of rotation software available in your control panel. Some monitors come with drivers that allow you to rotate the monitor and use them in portrait mode.

LOL! I actually did that and leaned it up against the back of the desk. But, then I tried right clicking on the desktop and got some window that showed tilt properties or something like that. The rotate 90 degrees option was checked. A click on normal setting fixed the problem. Now I have to set my chair back up right again. Sitting in my chair while lieing on the floor was nice for a while :astonished:

Now I just have to figure out how to get the margin back to the bottom and not on the left side of the screen.

Cheers.

There is an old computer engineering oddity. Some monitor screens ( not modern flat panels) were designed for either northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere use, but not both. If you turn one of these upside down the colours go all weird because the magnetics of the scan coils etc are set up to work either north or south of the equator. Occasionally you will find a label saying Northern Hemisphere on the back.
Try it, but I suggest not also interfering with your chair.

You can also get austalian monitors, which will only work in australia, the image is upside down if you use one in the UK, same with British monitors in australia…

your drunk…welcome to the fold.

Some graphics drivers have the option to rotate the picture using hotkeys. It’s usually something like Ctrl-Alt-Cursor keys. Try Ctrl-Alt-Up (that works with some of the Intel on-board graphics).

So THAT’S why! At the ECMW a couple years back, Brian Mac. was showing some footage he had taken by mounting the camera on a tripod and holding it upside down with the camera a couple inches off the ground… He flipped Joe’s TV over so it looked “right side up” and the colors got all wonky :wink:

At work it’s fun to take a large car speaker and place it next to the work order monitor and watch the boss freak out (until I degauss it ;))

On my school computers i can press CTL+ALT+arrow keys and it flips the screen in that direction, it’s so funny to leave a screen like that and no one knows how to fix it…

thats funny

I just tried the desktop setting on my laptop. It works!
I just think I found my April fool’s joke for the guy I share an office with!!
