Apparently it's a dell Optiplex 745. I'm using another PC now cos I can't ttting type fk all upside down.

PLEASE HELP ME AS I HAVE A stLOAD of work to do.

Don't put me in the computer section becuase it smells funny in there.

edited as too slow with the funny response - also too slow with the clever response - Ctrl-Alt and down arrow on a Dell.

Yep, one of those 'features' on computers that allow you to change the orientation on the screen. Not sure what use this is, but quite a few do it these days. Causes panic with the users who don't know what it is.

Oh wait...

hehe

Perhaps, but at least their screens are the right way up.

Sometimes the properties of a graphics card can be accessed by the manfacturer icon in your system tray on the bottom right hand side of your screen (Now your top right wink) ... Right click on this and you may have the option to rotate the screen.

Otherwise it'll be a shortcut on your keyboard ...

Or call IT Support in your workplace? wink

It is useful if you have a wide screen that can be physically rotated which is good for editing long word documents or scripting. my boss does it all the time hehe

You could try and right click on the desktop, and then go into your graphics control pannel.

From there you should be able to rotate the screen either way. (left is quicker btw biggrin )
