Desktop Displayed Rotated By 90 Degrees
My friend's Win XP Pro SP2 PC has a 1152 x 864 widescreen monitor. He has
done something accidentally so that when the computer boots in to Windows it is displaying at 864 x 1152, i.e. everything is appearing on the screen flipped at 90 degrees. The monitor itself is set up correctly, i.e. 1152 x 864, and displays everything fine until the computer gets to the desktop when everything is displayed rotated. In Display Settings the only options available are the reverse of what they used to be, e.g. 864 x 1152 instead of 1152 x 864. I've checked about every setting I know and also searched the Knowledge Base and Win XP Help and Support for "Rotate Display" but haven't found anything useful. Can anyone help? |

Desktop Displayed Rotated By 90 Degrees
Some graphics cards come with utilities or an option to rotate your display.
Most likely to be found in the Display/Advanced option. Click on Start/Control Panel/Display/Setting Tab, Advanced button or it could be an Icon in the control panel specifically for the Video Card you have. The following may also work: CTRL+ALT+Up arrow on some but not all video cards. JS "Dell Boy" Dell am wrote in message ... My friend's Win XP Pro SP2 PC has a 1152 x 864 widescreen monitor.

Hi:
You are right CTRL+ALT+Up/Down/left arrow/right arrow, works for my Intel Card.
