Hi

I have a problem with my screen. When I start the windows, it starts sideways. I tried control alt up arrow and F1 option to bring the screen to normal settings. However, after restarting the windows, same problem keeps appearing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem permenatly.

Thanks

I currently have the same problem, Dell software support has been unable to help, I have been told to contact dell tech support (hardware).

Alpalino,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

What Operating System is installed? Below are some things to try and resolve your screen issue,

Go into  the windows control panel, or right click on the desktop you should see the name of the video card drivers management program, this should have settings to change the screen orientation. May be under advanced. Depending on which OS is installed


You can get there by choosing "Display" | "Settings" | "Advanced" from the control 
panel. Or, right-click the desktop, choose "Properties" | "Settings" | 
"Advanced".

If you have Hot Keys turned on try turning them off  and then try adjusting.

  1. Right-click an open area of the desktop and click "Properties" to open the "Display Properties" window.
  2. Click the "Settings" tab and then click the "Advanced" button to open the monitor settings window.
  3. Click the tab corresponding to your graphics card. You may need to click one or more buttons within the tab to reveal a rotation settings option. Exactly where rotation settings are located will depend on the brand of graphics card installed.
  4. Once you locate the rotation settings, choose the "0 degrees" or "normal" option to change the display to upright. The rotations settings may also give you the option of disabling rotation hot keys so that the problem does not happen again.
  5. Click "OK" to save changes and exit out of any open properties windows.

I went thru a lot just to be able to answer this cuz when it happened to me I truly freaked

It is difficult with the mouse turned but just be patient.

Go to the start menu pick settings pick landscape (it should read portrait )  pick apply

You are fixed

Now ...just to figure out how I caused it to begin with
