Probably changed a setting by mistake, if you have an ATi Graphics card your will find an option to rotate your screen. Search your start menu for catalyst control center and the will be numerous settings including the rotate display option.

Oh and welcome to the site

Yeah... as Ant says, there are rotation options for display drivers. Make sure they are set correctly. If you tell us which graphics chip you have and then we can give you a howto and link you to the newest drivers.

NVidia drivers also have this ability, and My Monitor (Samsung) also has setting which will allow it to rotate...
Delpha graphics will also do this,
javascript can make the disply rotate...
So please a little more info... will help.
1. your computer by name.. Dell, HP, Acer, etc etc
2. your monitor by name
3. which graphics adapter do you have..
4. Any graphic related software you have installed.
5. Lastly which version of Vista are you using.?
TIA

Thumbs up 90' Rotation

Hi
I am sorry I have not come back to you before as this Computer was the property of a good friend and was not in my possesion. It is a Toshiba "Equium" and having bent my neck sideways for a while I discovered that if you right click on the mouse a panel will appear giving two further options Graphics...rotation.. 90'..180'' etc etc.
Why you want to do this I cannot imagine as the mouse orientation does NOT go with it. This would be good for a forfeit party and would sort out the linears from the lateral.
So its fixed and thank you for your interest and help. I am sure there will be other issues as I am Macintosh man and only use a PC for flight sim.
Good forum and great response.

Thanks again

David

If those properties were in the shell it was most likely an intel chip. Glad its sorted. And glad you like the forum!
