Desktop Icons horizontal
« on: March 22, 2009, 11:28:20 AM »
When I boot up and the icons are loaded on desk top they are horizontal.  It is like you would rotate the monitor left, 90 degrees on it's left side.  It is breaking my neck trying to read.  How do I correct?

Use Ctrl + Alt + the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Display rotated 90 Degrees
The Problem:-Display screen has rotated to 90 degrees clockwise.

The Resolution:-Open Control Panel>Display>Settings tab>advanced, navigate through the tabs to find a rotate display option.This option has come due to the graphic card you have installed. The option should allow you to rotate the display back to its original orientation.

    Rotational adjustments can be found in advanced desktop settings.
