Screen Inverted

Hi Wes,

Thanks but that didn't do it.

I remember the solution did have to do with "rotating" back to normal.

But I don't remember how to get back to that function.

If anyone does, please let me know.

As far as your commands, I was able to right click the desktop, click
properties, than settings, then advanced, but then there was no video card
tab.

After I clicked advanced what I saw was:

""Adapter, Color Management, Monitor, General, TroubleShoot"

I figured Monitor was the logical one but when I clicked over there I didn't
see any function whereby I coudl rotate the monitor.

Anyone else help please? I know there is a solution to this problem someone
gave it to me before but I just can't find the post!!!

Dan,
This is the only other post of yours that I found related to screen being
rotated.

Screen is totally off kilter

Dan, can it be that this inversion is the result of a setting of your
monitor hardware rather than in the Windows Control Panel?

You could try the buttons on your monitor to get a menu.

I dont know if this will solve everyone's problem, but I accidentally
did this while at work today, and this is how I solved the problem. We
use Dells with integrated video acceleration:

ctrl + alt + uparrow

Actually, on this computer, you can rotate the screen presentation
every way you want using ctrl + alt + [arrow key]. If you push down,
the screen literally goes upside down. It also inverts the mouse
function, so be ready for that.

Hope this helps someone!
