2yr old Grandson decided to play chopsticks on the family system. XP Professional

In the process the Screen orientation is rotated 90 degrees to the left.

Where do I go to correct this.

When the Windows splash screen comes up, it is in normal view; so it must be a setting that has become changed.


TIA

Start Button --> type "Display" --> Click "Change Display Settings" --> Change "Orientation" to preferred state (ie Landscape)

Alternatively, from Start type "Orient", and click "change Screen Orientation"

If it has intel graphics on the mother board, while holding down the alt+control, press an arrow key to rotate graphics.

Try this;

Right click a blank area of screen-

Right click the "Graphics Properties" option in the popup menu-

Search around there till you get to the rotation options.
