Screen is totally off kilter

[H@discussions.microsoft.com Dan H]

I have a bit of an embarrassing but urgent situation for anyone who can help.

I have a baby girl about a year and a half old and she sees daddy typing
away at the keyboard all the time, so she wanted to hop in my lap and emulate
me.

So I let her. BIG MISTAKE.

She was just randomly pounding on the keys when suddenly the screen shifted.

To picture what I mean.....imagine you are staring at your monitor and then
everything goes out of whack such that to make the screen look normal again
(so you can read the words on the screen), you have to pick your monitor up
and turn it to the right so that it's now resting on the right side of the
screen.

Now, the monitor stand that it used to rest on is on the left side of the
screen.

It's rather ridiculous and I didn't realize this could be done....obviously
there is some sort of function that inverts the screen like this that my
daughter pressed. To make matters worse, it saved this way because I tried
rebooting hoping my screen would load up normally again....and once it gets
to the desktop the screen loads up in this weird position where I have to
rest my monitor on its right screen side to read everything.

If anyone here knows how to get my screen back to normal, please help! My
monitor is very unstable right now...since it's obviously not supposed to be
resting on its right hand side but on the stand!

Thank you,
Dan

Hi

Try this:

Right click the Desktop, select Properties>Settings>Advanced. See if there
is a setting in there to rotate the screen back to normal. If you have
Nvidia software installed try clicking on the tab for your graphics card and
have a look for NVRotate on the left hand side.

If you do have an Nvidia card there may be an icon in the Notification Area.
If so, right click on it, select Rotation Settings and then set it to 0
degrees

Sure, happens all the time, :) There is likely a rotate screen option on
your display adapter..go to control panel/display/advance/ look through the
settings there for the rotation settings.
