    display orientation shifted 90 degrees - very difficult
    « on: August 16, 2008, 06:21:08 AM »
    I am using a relatively new Dell Latitude D630 laptop with Windows XP. While working I must have somehow hit some key combination that turned my display orientation 90 degrees.  I have searched local and on line help and can't find the method for getting the standard display back. Right now as I type this, the scree is displaying such that I would have to turn the laptop on its side to be able to read the screen in a normal left to right fashion.  I usually know my way around to fix problems, but just cannot find where the connection for this setting or layout is.  Directions anyone?  Please?
