Laptop Display Sideways
Trying to troubleshoot my mothers laptop by phone. Its a relatively new
Dell lapp running Windows XP. She did something and now the dislay is sideways (apparently only on her account, noit my father's account on the same computer). Restarting and pressing f8 and start with last know good configuation doesn'tcure this. Any suggestions for fixing this (excluding just turning the comuter sideways,replacing with a MAC or Linux-based machine etc.) would be appreciated. |

Some sorts of job are easier to do with a display that has the long side vertical instead of horizontal. So if you have your monitor mounted that way, it's quite nice to be able to 'rotate' everything else to match. Some monitors have mounts that allow the screen to be physically moved from one position to the other. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

Their paperwork and electronic copies of Xrays work much better that way, as well as clearing doorways. Upside down, I've seen LCD monitors mounted under shelves to keep the desktop clear. Also, some of the fancy executive desks that show the screen thru the surface of the desk using remoted CRTS needed to be upside-down because of the mirror. I've seen various vidcards that even do side to side flip. There has to be a reason, but I don't know it |

Can't view A4 full size, turn screen 90deg rotate the display and get A4 at 100%. >Why would anyone want/need to turn their display to the left, the right, or >upside-down? Serioulsy. Other is viewing pictures at something less than 100%, in portrait mode default is 100%. That's on a 1280x1024, in portrait it's 1024 x 1280 another few 100 pixels helps. Upside down is handy, use existing mounting brackets and simply rotate the display 180 so it looks correct when used to hang down from a ceiling. Me |

I do not remember whether I did this or a customer did but it was tricky to fix as the mouse movements seemed wrong.
