my lovely 3 year old got hold of my netbook, pressed a heap of buttons and somehow turned the screen settings to vertical, so now i have to tilt the laptop sideways to read the screen...in addition to this the mousepad is now working in reverse! anyone know where the settings are located to revert this? ive looked in screen properties and cant find nothing there:confused1:

Press Ctrl and Alt together and press your arrow up key.

 

I just tried that out of curiosity but nothing happened

im guessing thats because your screen is orientated that way already....try maybe pressing the down or side arrows?

Tried that, no luck. Ohwell i was only curious lol

your screen would have to be displayed vertically for any change to your screen after said key inputs, If you press Ctrl and Alt and right key, you'll find you can change display to vertical, please make sure to undo after playing about by pressing the Ctrl Alt and UP keys...
