RE: Display turned by 180degrees, HELP!!!

Thank you to the group - youdidn't give me the exact answer but I managed to
piece together bits from this to get there. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 and
rotated 180 - then somehow only 90 degrees - went to the control panel and
rotated it back via the tablet options. es I know - it's not a tablet but it
worked. Just a normal girl out here trying to wade my way through without n
IT department so if this works ofr me! Thank you/

Re: Display turned by 180degrees, HELP!!!

Many video drivers have "keystroke" combo's which can rotate the screen
on any PC, laptop or otherwise, so, every few months a question comes up
when someone (or someone's child) has rotated the screen accidentally
and can't get it back.

The best way to find out about this is to see if your pc has a video
driver utility (look in control panel) then, open that and look for
hotkeys to find out which does what... can be useful in a number of
circumstances.
