OK calling PC gurus. I'm at work and someone was playing a trick on a coworker and turned his monitor screen sideways. I know there is a command to turn it right again, but don't remember what it is.

Since there is more knowledge here than is available in most search engines, I'm starting here.

Thanks

What do you mean by sideways?

The whole screen is turned on its side. Not the physical screen but the content of the monitor

You can do it in the monitor driver settings as well.

I used to be able to trick my computer teacher at school to give me leave with that. It stopped working after a while tho, hehe.

One thing i noticed tho was that it doesn't work on all computers, why is that?

Did the prankster actually change the settings, or maybe he/she installed a "Prank" Program that makes the screen appear sideways and theres a way to exit out of it,.

Pranks
