About Thomas
Expertise
I like to help people as far my knowledge goes...i can help with Hardware Problems, Some parts of Multimedia and some internet related topics. and lots of basic stuff

Experience
used to Windows XP, Network Administration, working in an IT department for over 5 years now, was working before as Hotline Support for Compuserve Germany, worked for Dell and HP in technical support in Germany from 97 to 99. But please dont ask Me things about Server Operating System and Microsoft Office Products. As the freqent questions about Password related topics are rising up, i dont answer any Questions about "How do i logon my system when i forgot my password". Answering this would be against the laws in my country, and excuse me, i dont know you and nobody can prove me that you really want to log on to your pc and not anyone else. Thx in advance.

Education/Credentials
was on a lot of trainings for Microsoft Software

Awards and Honors

Windows XP - Screwed Up Display Orientation


Expert: Thomas - 7/5/2009

Question
I turned my PC on the other day only to find that my display has been reoriented 90 degrees so everything is on its side.  How can I get this display reoriented to the vertical (normal) way of being viewed.

Thanks for your help

Answer
try this

Power up your machine, and before Windows Logo appears press F8, this will bring up a boot menu with some options, choose there VGA Mode, maybe this sets back your display to normal orientation...choose your preferred display settings for resolution and refresh rate and then reboot.

Regards

Tom
