    Default How do I fix my screen?

    My cat decided to sit on the keyboard of my laptop today. When he got up my screen was completely upside down. I cannot figure out how to get it back right side up. He has done this before, turning my screen sideways and DH fixes it for me. However, he gets kind of annoyed so I really don't want to show him, let alne ask him to fix it. I know there is a simple solution, I just don't don't know what it is.

    Any help is truly appreciated.

    TIA

    Is it your entire desktop or just when you open an internet browser? If it's the browser, which one are you using (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, etc.)

    It is the entire thing. Silly me thought that by cutting it off it would fix itself. When I turned it back on the sign on screen is upside down and the mouse moves in the opposite direction. I move my finger up the mouse moves down, I go left it goes right.

    I use both IE and Mozilla. When the cat sat on it I had Mozilla up. Doubt that matter now, but just thought I would add that bit of info.

    I usually just click a lot and it fixes itself! LOL

    My DS has done that to my computer before but my DH fixed it for me. :/

    Do you have nvidia display icon (bottom right on task bar)
    Right click on it and check the rotation settings.

    Thanks!!!

    I am going to check that out right now. I am slow, so is the laptop so it may take me a few minutes to get it turned on and ready. Will let you know how it goes.

    Ahhhh - Busted!!! DH came in right as I was attempting to fix it. He saw the screen and took over (of course he was huffing and puffing at me the entire time).

    I have this thread bookmarked so I can come back to it the next time my sweet cat decided the keyboard is going to be his napping spot.

    Thanks for all of your help!!!
