Craigboy2 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) This is very strange and kind of funny. My sister claims to have left her binder on her keyboard by accident and when she took it off the screen (not the monitor) had roated counter-clockwise. It also made the mouse inverted. I think the binder must have hit some hot keys or something (EX: Ctrl+F4+D). We can't get it to go back. We checked all the Microsoft help guides and everything, they didn't help. So does anyone know how to rotate it back? Edited August 31, 2006 by Craigboy2 "Your total disregard for the law and human decency both disgusts me and touches my heart. Bless you, sir."

Judge Hades Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) This should be in the technical for... I mean Skeeter's Junkyard. Usually screen rotation can be fixed in the display properties. Go to settings and Advanced and follow the menues there. You should find it. The mouse should be fixed along with it because it is reacting to the screen as if it was right side up.

Laozi Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Have you tried rotating it to the left and uninverting the mouse? People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Craigboy2 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) Have you tried rotating it to the left and uninverting the mouse? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because of the shape of the moniter it wouldn't remain balanced.

Judge Hades Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 What type of video card does it have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostStraw Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 With ATi cards there are settings in their "Catalyst Control Center" that adjust the screen orientation/rotation. See if there is some external management program for your video card (outside of the windows control panel). Try: Ctrl + Alt + Arrow key (different arrow keys are for different rotations) It doesn't work for my ATi card, but I've heard it works for some low end (integrated) ones. Look for information on your particular graphics solution.. if all else fails though, you can try this: http://www.entechtaiwan.net/util/irotate.shtm (iRotate) It's free, but I've never used it before (found it through a Google search) -- good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionavar Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I suspect LostStraw may be on the mark - knowing the video card would be of use and whether there is any software installed specifically for the monitor, The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 When you say it's inverted, what exactly do you mean. It actually moves up (or in this case sideways, since the screen is tilted), when you slide the mouse down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
