When i logged on to my computer everything went while for a while before the computer froze. i tried clikcing around a few times and nothing worked. I banged the keyboard in the hope of getting some form of life.... , but to no avail. Unfortunatly however i hit some combination which turned my display upside down! I had to move the screen physicaly so i coud see the right way round but as you can imagine this is not ideal and i would really appreciate if someone could tell me what you press on the keyboard to reverse the screen back to the way it was.

I am running windows XP with a dell keyboard....

Look at some of the F keys at the top and see if they have any icons on them relating to a monitor. Is the display the same when the computer is loading Windows (the blue bar across the bottom)?

You can get LCD monitors with a pivot so you can rotate the screen from landscape to portrait.

But you can get this feature on laptops, how many people use laptops on their sides ?
