My daughter was messing with my laptop and the screen has flipped 90degrees so i have to look at it like a book

What gets it back to a landscape view?

Cheers..Mark

OOOHHHH, that's fun, I'm going to hammer some people at work tomorrow (the 1 finger typing kind of people)

I did that on my brothers one the other day - I hate Vista


but i did find a setting somewhere that disables the rotation (and the other hotkeys)

In a similar prankish vein, when i worked at a previous place you could recongigure the mouse keys on the Catia suites by pressing all buttons at once then randomly pressing buttons in sequence to change what each button does. Used to drive the CAD people potty.


ctrl alt arrow keys doesnt work on my lappy.
