HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apr 13th, 2012, 1:15am
 
I'm one of those sorry narcoleptic souls who falls asleep with his head in the keyboard.  I did so just a little while ago and when I woke up my entire screen was sideways.  I must have depressed several keys at the same time with my forehead.  How do I turn my screen right again?  I checked Windows Help and ran through all of the short cuts but as ALWAYS Windows Help was useless. My neck is getting very stiff.  
Thanks.

Thank you, Morphy, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!  My neck thanks you too.  Why couldn't Windows Help include that very useful command?  In all the years I've been using Windows I honestly don't recall their Help helping me even once.

Interesting, Morphy. Now is there a command that turns the screen on it side so you can view pics and vids that are "lying down"? Control/Alt/right (or left) arrow? I'm afraid to try it 'cause I might get stuck in some odd orientation.

ctrl+alt +right/left pivots the screen. with up arrow changing everything back.  
 
I agree about Windows help. It's very sketchy at the best of times. I guess they have a reputation to uphold.  Wink

I did it again.. fell asleep on the keyboard and tilted the picture 90 degrees.  Thankfully I remembered about where this thread was.  Thanks again, Morphy!

I actually have a mark in the center of my forehead most of the time.  My friends have gotten used to it.
