BeckyBoo Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I need urgent computer help please - my son has very kindly turned the display upside down on my laptop. This means that I am currently typing this with the screen display upside down above my head. I've tried system restore but it says there have been no updates and tried ringing my local PC Paramedics but their technicians are all busy on another line, and whilst I now know how valuable my call is to them they haven't as yet called back. I've got a million things to do on here today as you can imagine so can anyone tell me how to put it right? Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Whew!! That's fun! I just made my display whizz around and around!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 or.... if that doesn't work - and depending on your display adaptor.. Right Click Desktop Click Properties Click the Settings tab Then click the advanced button (bottom right corner) A new window should appear with many tabs Select the tab that says Rotation Then select Standard landscape (you are probably on Rotate 180 degrees. You screen will go blank then it will re-appear and it should be back to normal. good luck!
