My son was on the computer and when he got off the image that is displayed
was 90 degrees to the left. Which means that i can only view the screen by
either tilting my head to the left or moving my monitor on it's side. I have
spoke to a few friends and they couldnt work it out. I have tried to drag it
back into place, the bar with the start bar and stuff moves but still
remains as if tilted to the left. All the on screen icons stay in the wrong
postition.. I hope someone knows how to fix this problem.. I havent got a
clue

Try "Display" in your control panel >>>
Settings >>> Troubleshoot will usually
find the problem, if not, write back and we'll
try something else.

>I think i can help, do you have a little "ati" icon on
the task bar, which is probably on the left or right side
of the screen now? left click on it, go to display
settings or something like that, find a button that
says "rotation". Once you get there find a "tilt 90
degrees" button, somewhere in there is your answer i
think. I'm not a genius, but that's how mine works. hope
it works out, or else you're going to need a chiropractor!

Some graphics cards have the option to rotate the screen. Go to properties
settings advanced and see if there is an option to change the screen
orientation.
