Help! Problem with Screen Display!
« on: April 30, 2013, 09:28:22 pm »
I was working with my laptop; clicked on Alt and the back arrow  - and something else by mistake -- and my desk top display went from a normal horizontal display of windows and icons to a vertical display. (a 90 degree angle to where it should be)

Everything works but there is no way I can use the keyboard, the mouse and windows with the screen at a 90 degree angle!

I assume this is an easy fix if I knew what button I clicked by mistake, but have no clue on how to reverse the desktop position. :dontknow:

Anybody know?

Found the answer using Google.  

If this happens to  you, click on Alt + Ctrl and the Up arrow at the same time and it will return your screen to normal.

Clicking on Alt + Ctrl + Back arrow at the same time rotates the screen 90 degrees.  Live and learn!

Thanks for sharing. At least when I run into something like this next time, I know absolutely what to do...

You're welcome! 

Have to admit it took me aback when it happened and the first thought I had was to check with the FC forum to get help.

But I was lucky to find the answer using Google.
