Somehow my clever 9-month old managed to change the display on my screenr. He
managed to push some keys on the keyboard and now the screen display has
rotated 90 degrees. So I have to set my monitor on its side so I can actually
see what I'm doing. I can't figure out how to rotate the display back to its
original orientation. Any suggestions?

Right click a blank area of the desktop, choose properties. Look around
in there for a setting to rotate the screen. It's a function of the
dispaly adapator.

Hi Rock,

Thanks for the quick response. I managed to find it under Graphic
Options/Graphic Properties/Rotation.
