VISTA/Laptop Screen rotation
« Topic Start: May 13, 2013, 08:25:29 AM »
Not sure what I did but my laptop now displays the screen/data horizontally (top is to the right) rather than in the L to R format.    Anybody know how to rotate the display back to normal (horizontal)?

Google is an amazing source of information. ;)

Try Ctrl+Alt+ (Up Down Left Right arrows)

If those keys don't work, you're going to find it on your graphics card setting (accessible from the control panel).

I tried "google" did the Ctrl+Alt+ (Up Down Left Right arrows) route to no avail.

Thanks   ....   I disabled "hotkeys" in the Control Panel and did the Alt+Ctl+(Up, etc.).    My son gave me this laptop when he got a new one.   I think he's messin' with the old man.

Are you saying it's fixed, or that you're still out of luck?

No, I'm good with it.   The fix worked.   Thanks Gburg.
