    Display turned upside-down...again.


    Once again, one of the kids working on one of our laptops turned the display upside-down. I know how to correct it (Control Panel--Display--Change Display Settings--Orientation--and then choose "Landscape") But I don't understand how they do it. They insist that they were not messing with Control Panel, and that it just suddenly happened.

    Can anyone explain this?

    :)

    computer screen flips upside down

    Since latest W10 update onJanuary 6th my screen automatically turns upside down when I click left touchpad button. It also automatically turns upside down when I close laptop down. So on startup again it opens upside down.

    Help please!

    N97 Camera Issue

    Bit of a strange one here. On Saturday I took 4 Photos on my N97.

    All Photos were taken normally with the Phone in Landscape Orientation.

    when I viewed the pictures afterwards.

    One was displayed correctly.

    One was upside down,

    One was in portrait Orientation and when I turned the phone to Portrait, this picture was also displayed upside down. The last one was also Portrait but the correct way up

    You're a genius, Cliff.

    Ctrl +Alt+arrow keys does it. Now I can correct it easily.

    Now if you can figure out WHY these kids do this without knowing what they did, we'll give you the Dr. Spock award.

    Maybe they meant to use Ctrl *Start + left & right arrows keys to switch between virtual desktops?
    Or the shortcut does something else in a program, but when the mouse is on the desktop, it changes orientation?

    or maybe the kids did know how they did it...

    Although...

    My wife called me a while back, "Honey, my screen is sideways, what do I do?" I said, "Turn the laptop on it's side?" Dinner was a bologna sandwich that night.

    I suspect that the most technologically correct explanation is: Kids!?!
