Display 90 degrees out
Hi
I have a friend who has a computer where the display is rotated anticlockwise by 90 degrees. This means that you have to turn your head to read the screen. Everything else is working well - just rotated. On startup the screen behaves normally, but once you get to the Windows sign on screen, things change. I am currently running a virus check, is there anything else that could produce this wierd behavior. Cheers Peter |
Many graphic cards have the option to rotate the text on the screen, to turn
the screen page to the same shape as a paper page, great for word processing. Many monitors can be position vertuically for the same use. Right click a blank area of the screen, Properties, settings, advanced, and examine all the options on the advanced tabs for one to change screen orientation. It may be called anything, not necessarily orientation, just examine the descriptions. Change just that item(record the setting name in case you have to change it back) -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Etrust/vet/CA 12 Month free trial (till Feb 2005) http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/ Etrust/Vet/CA.online Antivirus scan http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools (1) http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Catalog of removal tools (2) http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/n...aspx?CID=40387 Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters __ "Peter" wrote in message ... | Hi | | I have a friend who has a computer where the display is rotated | anticlockwise by 90 degrees.

I have to wonder why anyone would have to rotate the screen when especially
in today's times all you need to do is change the setting to Landscape. I'm only wondering. On the other note, mine is actually worded rotate on 2 machines. It's not something I haven't known about but double checked anyway. I'm sure they probably have different wordings for it, kind of like searching real deep for something on the web. -- Brian A.

Paper is normally presented with the short side at the top, 'portrait',
monitors are usually presented in landscape word processing particularly gives wysiwyg much more accurately when the screen is the shape of the paper, the ability to rotate the display to the shape of the paper does away with the blank bands around reduced images to show whole pages, or with scrolling. (start useles information) this is a 21 inch LG monitor which can produce 2048*1536 or 1536*2048 the other way round, great resolution and is on a swivel base, A3 pages fit within the monitor bezel, so layout is easy. I very seldom have to mouse down a web page in portrait, entire google search pages show at the same time, no scrolling, and the graphic card reads the screen position somewhere and changes the display when you turn the monitor Landscape is better for gaming, but usually play games on the wall, 6 feet by 4 with a projector. I collect gadgetry as toys 41 years old retired nothing else to do. I am using the 'big screen' to read newsposts, the 2 smaller ones are dumping todays DV tape to dvd with Ulead Video Studeo (blatant plug very happy with it and a freebie in panasonic dv camera) and ftp-ing the video file created to my sister in Aus so she can see the kids make snowmen.

Thanks AB,
I never looked at it in the sense of the points you mention, I've only looked at it in the printing perspective. Now it makes more sense. See now, it wasn't useles ( you left out the last s so I did as well SEG ) after all. And they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, HA I say! -- Brian A.
