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.

 

All the angles here...

Me

 

One of my machines has a GeForce NVIDIA graphics card that has a rotate
screen 90,180,270 degrees option as part of the settings in the taskbar.

All kidding aside, of what practical use is this fuction? I've never found
any use for it, but there must be some?

Why would anyone want/need to turn their display to the left, the right, or
upside-down? Serioulsy.

 

One example.
Some people turn their camera sideways to take pictures.
So the picture is sideways on.
Flip the screen, and you can view the picture correctly.
HTH.

 

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.

 

My orthopedist's office has their BIG widescreen lcd monitors on carts
and rotated either 90 or 270 degrees. 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%.

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.

Far easier to flip the photo...

 

I do not remember whether I did this or a customer did but it was
tricky to fix as the mouse movements seemed wrong. I think I looked in
the manual for the laptop and found some obscure key combination that
rotaed the screen. If you contact the friendly support team at Dell
they should be able to help you. It is nothing serious just a bloody
nuscience.
I did a qick search via google and saw this item

One possible use is for viewing documents. Xerox PARC had monitors with
aspect ratios reversed so the monitor would "appear" to be sitting on
it's side. Take a look at a closed book and then turn it sideways and
you'll see the rational.

 

Another possible use is if your eyeball are sideways or are upside-down in
your eye sockets.

 

ROTFL!!!

 

all you have to do is hit control, alt , and the up arrow key

SCREEN FIX

Hi ,

My name is Dishant and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell
Use CTRL + ALT + DELETE and a different key combination like the UP,DOWN,RIGHT &LEFT arrow keys with which we play games , They are also called as the gamer keys .
If you use the combination of CTRL + ALT + DELETE and arrow keys the screen will change sideways or wherever you want it to be like if it is stuck and you are using a laptop take out the battery and power cable and keep pressing the power button and then put in the power cable (AC ADAPTER ) this will kind of refresh your computer and then try it but it will work in the first go if still it does not resolved the problem back up your important data and do a OSRI
operating system re installation with the RE - instillation CD that came along with your dell computer or look or latest updates about your problem on Support.dell.com


Thanks,
Dell – Dishant C
