Desktop is turned sideways

• The desktop view turned sideway. How do I rectify this?

  I use Windows 8 on a Dell laptop.  I accidentally leaned on my keyboard, while the phone was on.  I don't know what I accidentally pressed, but the entire screen turned sideways Office!  I restarted my laptop, but this does not reverse the position on the side!  I tried dragging the toolbar 'Start' on the side of the screen to the bottom of the screen, but it does not work so far.  I tried searching for an answer to the title of the Page Help & Support Windows, but so far have not found any information on how to solve this problem.  It is very difficult to work this way!  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thank you very much for any help that you can provide, I really appreciate it!

  Sincerely,

  Susan Cox

  I have not tried this on Win8 yet, but if it is the same as the previous versions...

• my screen is turned sideways and I do not know how to fix it

  my screen is turned sideways and I don't know how to fix it.

  Hello

  If the office appeared on the side, then I suggest you to follow the steps below.

  Press CTRL + ALT + arrow key .  If that doesn't work try CTRL + ALT + one of the other arrow keys.

  Also try to do a right click on the desktop, select Graphics Options | Rotation | Normal

  If you have changed from Portrait to landscape in the display settings, then follow the steps to get back to Portrait.

   

  Control Panel-> display-> screen resolution

  It is not an option called Orientation where you can choose between landscape & Portrait.

• My dispay screen has turned sideways?

  I must have leaned on my keyboard accidentally and my screen has turned sideways.  How to put back the right way?  Any help appreciated.

  Hello Wendyarnold,

  You can try pressing Ctrl + Alt + UP ARROW to see if this will change it back (you need to maybe try the down arrow or right/left arrow key if this does not work)

  You can also go to the control panel and, depending on your card, you should have a video card Control Panel, control panel NVidia or Catalyst Control center. This opens up and seek a marked display section. With ATI, it's under the desktop and poster (click on the arrow to the right of the display and select the rotate option.) Keep turning until you get the right orientation)

  NVidia should also have a similar option that allows the roate screen 90 or 180 degrees. However, as you think that you have to rotate the screen by accidentally leaning on the keyboard, the Ctrl + Alt + UP (or down) arrow should fix things.

• When I turn my iphone sideway, the video does not turn sideway

  When I watch the video on my iphone, I usually turn my iphone sideway, the video would turn sideways to get the most out of the video. But now it does not turn sideways.  Try to find the adjustment to set the option or the recent updated version this video sideway option removed.

  Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center. Press on the icon of a padlock on the right side until it becomes black. If the icon is white, the screen rotation is locked.

• Display has turned sideways

  It is Dell Inspiron E1705 of my daughter with Windows XP SP3 installed. Everything was wonderful until the other night, then she was working with this computer before going to sleep. She was in bed with her computer when she is asleep. During the night, flipped it over on the computer and the screen has turned sideways. The BIOS initialization appears correctly as well as the first part of the initialization of windows, but the Welcome screen display is on the side as well as the rest of the o/s.

  Does anyone have a better idea how to solve this problem that wipe the HARD drive and reinstall Windows XP?

  Hi btk.

  Wait what he well go through start up even if it's on the side.

  When finished, press the CTRL and ALT keys and then use the arrow keys to adjust the orientation of the screen.  Normally, the up arrow will do the trick, but sometimes it takes playing with arrows for a while before finding a way to recover it as you wish.  That should do it.

  Good luck!

  The ability to rotate the screen image is a characteristic of your video
  card, to help work with instructors who turn to the portrait
  orientation. Almost certainly you accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and
  an arrow key.
   
  Rotate using these keys.
