Display 90 degrees out

[Peter]

Hi

I have a friend who has a computer where the display is rotated
anticlockwise by 90 degrees. This means that you have to turn your head to
read the screen.

Everything else is working well - just rotated. On startup the screen
behaves normally, but once you get to the Windows sign on screen, things
change.

I am currently running a virus check, is there anything else that could
produce this wierd behavior.

Cheers

Peter

Many graphic cards have the option to rotate the text on the screen, to turn
the screen page to the same shape as a paper page, great for word
processing. Many monitors can be position vertuically for the same use.

Right click a blank area of the screen, Properties, settings, advanced, and
examine all the options on the advanced tabs for one to change screen
orientation. It may be called anything, not necessarily orientation, just
examine the descriptions. Change just that item(record the setting name in
case you have to change it back)

I have to wonder why anyone would have to rotate the screen when especially
in today's times all you need to do is change the setting to Landscape. I'm
only wondering.

On the other note, mine is actually worded rotate on 2 machines. It's not
something I haven't known about but double checked anyway. I'm sure they
probably have different wordings for it, kind of like searching real deep
for something on the web.

Paper is normally presented with the short side at the top, 'portrait',
monitors are usually presented in landscape

word processing particularly gives wysiwyg much more accurately when the
screen is the shape of the paper,
the ability to rotate the display to the shape of the paper does away with
the blank bands around reduced images to show whole pages, or with
scrolling.


(start useles information)

this is a 21 inch LG monitor which can produce 2048*1536 or 1536*2048 the
other way round, great resolution and is on a swivel base, A3 pages fit
within the monitor bezel, so layout is easy. I very seldom have to mouse
down a web page in portrait, entire google search pages show at the same
time, no scrolling, and the graphic card reads the screen position somewhere
and changes the display when you turn the monitor
Landscape is better for gaming, but usually play games on the wall, 6 feet
by 4 with a projector.
I collect gadgetry as toys 41 years old retired nothing else to do. I am
using the 'big screen' to read newsposts, the 2 smaller ones are dumping
todays DV tape to dvd with Ulead Video Studeo (blatant plug very happy with
it and a freebie in panasonic dv camera) and ftp-ing the video file created
to my sister in Aus so she can see the kids make snowmen. Snow is not very
common in Australian cities

(End useless information)

Thanks AB,
I never looked at it in the sense of the points you mention, I've only
looked at it in the printing perspective. Now it makes more sense. See
now, it wasn't useles ( you left out the last s so I did as well <SEG> )
after all.

And they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, HA I say!
