Al Lustie's Tips and Tricks

I had an interesting tech call recently.  My client's cat had sat on her keyboard.  In fact, the cat napped on the keyboard.  The computer was on.

When the cat's owner came home, the picture on the screen was turned 90 degrees to the usual orientation.  So, she would have to turn the monitor on an edge to use the screen (or get a really bad crick in her neck).  What would fix that?

It turns out there is a keyboard shortcut that does the job.  (This is Windows, by the way.)

Control + ALT + Up Arrow

Kaboom!  the screen was rotated.  She was happy.
