My daughter must have hit something on her computer this morning but I don't know what. Confused Now, instead of the normal way up text, everything is on the screen sideways. Can anyone help?

Do you mean the letters are actually on their side or the right way up but reading top to bottom. I've never heard of this happening before Confused

Instead of her screen text showing in landscape for some reason it had switched itself around so that the whole screen was showing in portrait. She's just called me back to say that she's fixed it though.

Thanks for offering your help.

Edited to add:

If anyone else ever has the same problem here's what to do:-

1. Right click on main screen.
2. Choose graphics option.
3. Then go to rotation and click on normal.

This changes the screen from portrait to landscape so that the text is the right way up again.

Simple when you know how isn't it? Rolling Eyes
