Hello,

I had a very strange problem that occurred the other day. I was set to do a presentation and plugged the VGA cord from a 3M projector into my laptop running Vista Ultimate. The display popped up completely sideways (vertical by 90 degrees) on both my laptop and projector screen.

I'm assuming it's probably a driver problem, but has anyone seen this before? Any ideas?

Please give us the model of the GPU... the installed software should be able to revert the orientation so once you give the model we can tell you how

Hey Crabby,

The graphics card is an Nvidia Quadro NVS 120M on a Dell D820 latitude laptop.

Thanks,

James

Yes Crabbys right, my mate had this problem with his projector, For his ATI graphics card he had to go to Catalyst control center and change the rotate options.

P.S this was on Windows XP though

Right click... Click Nvidia Control Panel... Click Change display configuration... in the left hand pane click Rotate display... then rotate to fit!

If you dont have the nvidia control panel you need the newest drivers from their website:

32 bit drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_100.65.html
64 bit drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_100.65.html
