NewUpNorf Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was in the middle of uploading photos and was highlighting them one at a time, when all of a sudden, everything on my screen did a 90 rotation to the left! So the 'top' of every page is now on the left of the screen and everything is written from bottom to top! The control pad doesn't work properly cos I can't work out what is up and down! I have no idea why this has happened. Rebooting the laptop hasn't helped. i'm sure it is something really simple to turn it back - please someone help!! Thank you!

Bettinson123 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Just press ctrl alt and the up arrow key at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewUpNorf Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 That worked! I must have pressed the left arrow by mistake as I was selecting my photos! Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider1 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 HI Right click on task bar and click lock the task bar when you got it back to normal . [if any problems you could also have right on empty screen and clicked graphic options this brings up rotate screen.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's a good trick to play on people at work if they leave their PC unlocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 HI Right click on task bar and click lock the task bar when you got it back to normal. Locking the taskbar has nothing to do with screen rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider1 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Locking the taskbar has nothing to do with screen rotation. Quite right but i have also had the task bar move and that can be a right headache Best to lock it i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonj Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's a good trick to play on people at work if they leave their PC unlocked It is indeed a good trick but comes in second to taking a screenshot of the desktop then using said screenshot as desktop wallpaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereolab Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 It is indeed a good trick but comes in second to taking a screenshot of the desktop then using said screenshot as desktop wallpaper You missed the vital step - you then have to hide Desktop Icons - so when they click they are just clicking the image of the icons and nothing will happen...
