HELP - the screen orientation has changed on my laptop

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Stupid but true! my cat has just walked across the keyboard of my
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptop (running windows xp home) and has
somehow manged to change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape (or is it the other way around?) She appeared to be mostly
around the keys in the top right corner of the keyboard so I have
tried all kinds of combinations of these but with no effect.
Everything I have read so far says that this cannot be done so maybe
my cat can have a well paid job with Microsoft. In the mean time I
would be enormously grateful for any help anyone can suggest (apart
from a taxidermist, although I have been tempted

I think it is a great feature. I believe it re-emerged recently with the
advent of tablet PCs, but I recall years ago, when the monitor makers had
made monitors that had an A4 sized screen, and could be rotated from
landscape to portrait orientation, for things such as word processing, where
you wanted to see a full page of text.

On my Dell, when I am showing photos that are mainly taller than they are
wide (ie Portrait orientation) their is no point in displaying them across a
wide screen, so I rotate the screen, and view them full screen.

Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions. Managed to sort it
out eventually by going into control panel and clicking on the icon
for the Nvidia video card. That had a tab for properties which in
turn had a tab for screen rotation. I clicked on this which corrected
the problem. I still haven't managed to figure out how my cat managed
to achieve this by walking on some combination of keys, but as with
the kids I think we will have to restrict her use of the computer in
future.
