Rotate the monitor display

[21_ach]

What Control-Alt key do you use to rotate the monitor display? I accidentally
rotated my monitor display counter-clockwise and need to rotate it back. Any
suggestions would be helpful.

This is a FAQ in m.p.windowsxp.help_and_support among others. I
might as well say that 2 solutions are common: CTL-ALT-UP
CTL-SHIFT-R

I was typing an e-mail in Outlook at the time and trying to put an alternate
symbol in. My fingers slid off of the keys and hit other keys (I'm not sure
what keys) and the monitor changed). Thank you for your reply. I don't have
the documentation for the monitor (I'm sure someone at my company does). I
had already tried the monitor display features with no luck.

I appreciate you answering though. Thanks.

I right-click my desktop there is an item in the popup menu NVIDIA Control
Panel
This opens a dialog that lets me rotate my ViewSonic screen
Perhaps you have something similar

I do not know the short cut - I have also inadvertently hits keys that
rotated the screen but never knew what they were!

Its nothing to do with Monitor features, its a feature of your Video Display
driver

<CTRL><ALT>Up solved my problem. THANK YOU very much.

This is also a feature on some notebook computers. My daughter inadvertently
discovered this feature (but not the solution) this past week. The solution
turned out to be Fn+Spacebar (this was on a Toshiba notebook, but does not
seem to be an active feature on several other Toshibas we have).
