Just overthrown 90deg desktop screen. ?? Help! (in XP)

Four-color or send an e-mail by removing unsightly arrows from the edge of the letter, when the entire screen unexpetedly returned 90degr.  I may have inadvertently hit a key combination so that it can react in this way?

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.

  • After have logged you on you yahoo this am, my calendar and Notepad have disappeared. When I click on it I just get a white screen. I'm not very computer and need help getting them back.

    When I usually go in the mail from yahoo, there are an icon on the upper left side to access my calendar and a Notepad. They are both gone, but there is a field in the lower left corner that has the buttons. When I click on one or the other, I just get a white screen. I have not updated to Firefox to a new version and can't imagine what happened during the night.

    It sounds more as if it was a temporary problem with the site Web of Yahoo mail. At this point, my advice is to see if this gets fixed in a few hours. If not, please come back (in fact, FRY without worrying and let us know if your problem is resolved).

  • Screen disappears and returns to desktop screen

    Can someone tell me why, in Windows 7, when typing or not typing, the screen automatically disappears from the task at hand and it is up on screen 'House '? What happens to me constantly on top of my laptop and office and it becomes really aggravating. It does not matter what I do; I can be typing an email, letter, or a reading just something on my screen and everything I'm working on everything disappears and I'm back to my home screen. This idiosyncrasy occurs on my lap top 14 months old and my top office dating a week and I need to know why. Thanks for any input

    I found it! Thanks a lot for started me and knowing I wasn't nuts.

    Go to "Control Panel" then click on the words "appearance and personalization".  Then, you will get a "Task Bar and Start Menu". Click on "Customize Start Menu" and then "taskbar". You will see the words 'Desktop Preview with AeroPeek'. Simply uncheck the box to use Aero Peek.  Problem solved.

    Why Microsoft would do this I'll never know. So, it seems useless to me. It almost drove me crazy until I solved the problem. Hope this helps others who have this problem

  • Computer HPp6203 of desktop screen freezes randomly

    Original title: windows 7 freeze

    I have a high HPp6203 desktop screen freezes at random no program special time frame or action. Unable to move anything or courier. Just before that happens blue circle appears next to Messenger then it freezes. No new software has been installed. Start button / Stop button to clear. Works fine in safe mode.

    Hi G Conrad, j.

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I would appreciate it if you could provide the error message to better support on the issue. In addition, I would like you to answer the following questions to refine the question.

    • You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
    • You are able to use the system anyway after the system hangs at startup?

    There are a few reasons your computer might hang, freeze, or crash. So I would say, you can remove the external devices except the mouse and keyboard, try the following steps and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If method 1 does not work, see the steps in the following link and check if they are useful.

    8.1 Windows, Windows 8 or Windows 7 hangs or freezes

    Disclaimer : The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Install Firefox 31 point 8.1 of Windows just gives a blank screen and the error "not responding".

    31 Firefox has been installed and works perfectly on my Asus laptop under win 8.1, until this morning. I opened the browser and just got a white screen. The Task Manager showed Firefox as "not responding". I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice, as an administrator, try 'reset Firefox' the second time. No change. I downloaded Firefox 29 and could install. It opens but freezes and unresponsive, as soon as I get a web address. I'm stumped, as Firefox worked perfectly until this morning. Someone had the same problem and, better yet, found a solution?

    It could be the work of one of your modules, or even add / bad-ware.
    Look through your list of modules and make sure you know what each of them is
    and what it does. In addition, to check the programs that are on your computer

    Windows: Start > Control Panel > uninstall programs.
    Mac: Open the folder "Applications".
    Linux:

    • Ubuntu unity {web link}
    • Xfce: Category for the Applications Menu items
    • options depends on the package and the desktop environment Manager

    Go through the list. If you find something that you do not
    know what it is, use a search on the web.

  • On my Satellite C660-174 desktop screen does not open properly

    I'm a newbie here so my question is maybe obvious to some, but not for me!

    My laptop Satellite C660-174 (running Windows 7) ceased to open correctly. Everything is normal until my password is entered. Rather than open up to my "desktop" with its icons all on the side I get a page with a banner "Toshiba Leading Innovation" through it and only four random icons on the side.

    How to restore my desktop screen and all the icons?

    Help will be appreciated.

    It's really not easy to understand what you see exactly.
    Can you please take a picture and send a link where we can see it?

    I really don't understand what could be the problem, but what you can try is to start your machine with F8 and enter advanced startup options. Choose the entry 'Repair your computer', then press 'Enter '. Go forward until you enter the system recovery options. Try to system restore to earlier date. Perhaps this will help you solve problem described.

  • Laptop HP pavilion 17-f115dx: start window and desktop screen

    The problem is the flashes of desktop screen between a blank blue screen with a task bar and a desktop at startup screen. My splash screen comes first, and no problem until I find myself on the desktop, then it flashes between other screens and also the splash screen. I have to control alt delete to close.

    I found the solution on another thread-

    1. press CTRL Alt Delete

    2. go in Task Manager

    3. go to the Services tab

    4. look to the bottom of the window, and then click Open Services

    5. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service

    6. right click and select Properties

    7. go in Startup Type and change to disabled

    8. click on apply, and then click OK

    The flashing should stop immediately

    Alternative route:

    1. press CTRL Alt Delete

    2. go in Task Manager

    3. Select the file--> a new task

    4. type msconfig, then click ok

    5. Select the Services tab

    6. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service & uncheck

    7. click on apply, and then click OK

    8 restart your computer & when you connect the flashing should be gone

    The first set of directions worked for me, but someone else did the second set because they couldn't do the first.

    Hope this helps!

  • Wallpapers flashes a blue screen with a desktop screen

    Product: HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 t-j000 Select Edition CTO Notebook PC, model C9G48AAR, product number: C8P45AV
    Problem: Once connected, the screen flashes start screen randomly and does not respond to any input.
    Effort: We followed the instructions on the HP web site for this symptom (desktop screen will Flash between a blank blue screen with a task bar and a desktop on startup (Windows 8) computer screen), but it failed at step 8 - start screen flashes in Mode safe mode with no way to find or enter step "Control Panel." We have also restored the system to the last restore point, reinstall the memory and reset the BIOS - all the HP recommended processes for video problems.
    Current situation: we have yet to solve problems via the web HP site first; This has left us speechless. We went to the "Contact HP" to discuss with the service agent, but discovered that our warranty expired a week ago. We were directed to the help forum. The laptop is my son and is used for his college course. We need to help, you can provide as quickly as possible. Thank you!

    I have advanced and complete steps 8-14 in the correction procedure from HP, including the center of the Action to "never check solutions" are reduced to problem reports. Then we went ahead and made the Microsoft Updates that were pending since we had it restored to a previous restore point. So far so good! The flashing screen problem is not returned. Until that Microsoft published a fix for this problem, I think that bypass it HP will keep us to leave. Thank you!

    Could I ask a favor? A HP contact named Mason was initially to help us with this problem, but all attmepts to repsond to his e-mails ended in a failure to deliver ("Diagnostic - code 554).

    Hi DianeCosic,

    What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

    We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

    In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

    Please, let us know if we can help you.

    Thank you!

  • Desktop screen moved down

    My desktop screen moved down and now he's partially hiding my taskbar and I have an empty space at the top of the screen. It's on any screen located to the top. How can I move the screen to the top. By clicking on it and try to drag does nothing.

    From what you describe, all that is needed perhaps a minor change of a parameter.

    Some monitors/LCDs have the ability to move the entire screen to the right, left, up, left - all sorts of directions. See the documentation for your monitor/LCD what to do. Probably, the adjustment controls are located at the front, below the bottom half of the monitor / LCD, near the base.

    Hope this helps
