Hey,

I'm on Windows XP and my brother kinda messed up my desktop. Basically the taskbar and start button are up the left hand side of the page instead of across the bottom and the whole screen has been shifted 90 degrees clockwise from its normal position so that I'm doing everything sideways now...pretty annoying considering I have to write up an essay and tilting my head is starting to hurt. How I change it back, it's not just the taskbar, it's my whole screen that's somehow been rotated.

this probably depends on your video card, but for me, you can change that by right clicking on the desktop, going to the Settings tab, and clicking the Advanced button, then going to the tab with the model of video card. I have a slideout menu on the left side, with "NVrotate" at the bottom, and I can change it there. I imagine it would be the same for most nvidia video cards, but if not (or if you don't have an nvidia), it will probably be in a similar place. try poking around in the advanced section- just remember not to change anything if you're not sure what it is :)

I never knew my graphic card has that option, thanks for knowledge :)
