Resolved Dell laptop screen is sideways (Xp system)

My sister gave me her Dell laptop w/XP. The screen is sideways ? I'm an
98SE guy, so i looked at it, but can't find how to get the screen upright.
I hate the mouse pad on the laptops and it is working in reverse, instead
of moving the cur up and down like normal, it goes side to side and the
reverse for side to side, it goes up & down. How do i get the screen back
to up & down and not sideways (90 deg)

Thanks
Michael

 

Hold down a Ctrl and an Alt key, then use the arrow keys to rotate the display until you have it where you want it.

 

Thank You Miz... All is fine in XP land now..LOL

Hi oldntryn,
Don't know why that is. Unless this is a time limited option as "editing" threads are. Will have to wait for administrator to notice this. In the mean time I have posted a test post in forum for such. Will have to wait for editing time out to see if update thread tool option is also effected. Will update this post when that happens. Just curiosity at this point.
