My little son (3 years) who is autistic, regularly mnages to turn the Windows
screen display on its side (or sometimes upside down). The only way I can fix
it is to do a system restore, which is inconvenient. I have never actually
seen how he does it. Does anyone know? Can anyone tell me how to fix or
prevent it?

There should be a control in Display Settings to rotate the screen. You can
get there by choosing "Display" | "Settings" | "Advanced" from the control
panel. Or, right-click the desktop, choose "Properties" | "Settings" |
"Advanced".

Hi

My wife works in a special needs school. She has the same problem with some
of her students as you are having now - keys are pressed here, there and
everywhere :-)) Is someone with your son at *all* the times that he is
using the PC? Documentation of his activities on/off the PC is vital at his
age.

Thanks for your interest. We are at teh very early stages of comingto terms
with the diagnosis on my son and have a lot to learn about how to help him.
Luckily, at least I now know the answer to this particular computer problem.
But thanks for your remarks.

Thanks for helpful advice. Unfortunately, there is no rotate control in this
location, or anywhere else that I can find.Do you have any other ideas?
