My daughter has managed to rotate to screen on my husband's laptop by 90 degrees, much to his annoyance. Does anyone know how to rectify this? It's a Del laptop, if that makes any difference.

Thanking you in advance.

Ah yes, my niece did that one by accident to my laptop a while ago too.

If you're running Windows you can rectify this by holding Ctrl + Alt and then pressing your 'up arrow' key by your enter key.

Each of these keys sets up the direction you want the display to face.

Thanks so much Medusa, it's worked, I now have a happy hubbie again and a less tearful daughter.
