10 Min. of history with the XP OS.
Mommys new computer with XP is "sideways" or 90 degrees out.
I am 100 miles away with a new baby so I ask advice on the technique
for resolvimg the issue via phone.
Its got to be simple, like the task bar in 95/98, right?
Thanks
Mark

Horrid

OOOO....Mommys not gonna like that.. |:<@

It sounds like you have some sort of video driver issue, one that I've never heard of before. If the whole display is tilted 90 degrees, it's not a simple settings issue I would think...

coincidence

I was at Frys electronics that same day Mommy called and saw a fantastic $2,000 new flat screen monitor that was 90 degrees out.
I pretty sure it was running XP as well. I had never heard of this or seen anything like it.

You said new! If it's truly new take it back.
