Monitor
posted by msuclassof92 on Mar 31, 2008
I have had this problem occur once before to a monitor and I was able to solve it. This time it is a different monitor and my solution is not working.
My monitor is now operating sideways (with the Windows start button in the upper left hand corner and all of my icons at the top going from right to left). I tried to use the front panel buttons to flip it back but all it did is make the situation worse. Is there a way in Windows to get it back?
Thanks

WizThe Ctrl-Alt-Direction key sequence is supposed to be used for changing your workspace. On my computer at work it changes the screen orientation.
Ctrl-Alt-Up - right side up
Ctrl-Alt-Right - 90 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Down - 180 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Left - 270 degrees
(If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)
This is a feature in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Which makes sense. But it looks like ATI Intel copied the keystroke for the same “feature” in their video card drivers. I can’t think of a good reason why I would need an always-on keystroke for this on a desktop PC.
When creating a keystroke-mapped feature that only 1% of your customers will want to use and the other 99%[1] are going to be confused by, put in a menu option to disable it and have it disabled by default.
To fix the issue press Ctrl-Alt-Up. To permanently fix the problem go to:
Start >> Control Panel >> Display >> Settings >> Advanced
Where it is after that it dependent upon your video card.
