    Screen Now Displays Sideways
    « on: December 08, 2006, 01:56:40 PM »
    Weird problem out of the blue I have never had happen before today, all of a sudden my laptop screen is displaying sideways, first some info....

    Toshiba Laptop
    MSAT010AIvI0
    Genuine Intell (R) CPU
    1.60 GHz, 0.99 GB RAM

    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    2002
    SP2

    Just last week I reinstalled windows due to a problem connecting with the internet so everything is pretty much new, and runnig great until today....
    Out of the blue the sctreen is now showing everything sideways, my neck is kinking just typing this, lol, I have run Spybot, AdAware, CCleaner, AntiVir (2 trojans found in that but deleted them and still have the problem) Ewido, and a Panda online scan, rebooted and still the problem...
    When I start the computer in safe mode its fine, but when I go back to normal mode its sideways again....
    Anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to fix it?
    I really dont want to reinstall windows all over again unless I have to, took me days just to get back all the programs I had....
    I remember a few weeks ago I think seeing a thread where someone else had this problem, cant find it now though, and dont remember much about the thread other then that...
    Can anyone help?
    Oh, one other thing, just before this happened my wife plugged in a new microphone to try out just before it happened, could something like that have anything to due with the screen going sideways? I dont see how...

      Right click on your desktop, select Properties>Advanced and look for the 'rotate' button. :)

        The steps to do it were slightly different, but that did it, I didnt even know there was an option to rotate the screen, I have no idea how it got changed in the first place, thanx Fed, cheers! 8-)

          I believe there are some hot keys that can rotate it too, you may have mistakenly pressed them.

          You have said that your wife plugged in a new microphone to try out just before it happened, maybe she destroy it.
