Strange windows problem?

[johnwilkins2001]

Hey, a mate just told me that his kid was playing around on the keyboard and now the display on his desktop is apparently angled so that the corners have moved but without changing resolution or using the resize and reshape functions on the monitor's control settings. He has asked me for help but haven't had this happen to me!

Does this sound familiar to any of you? If so, what is the remedy?

Tia,

Sounds like a monitor control to me. Is it a crt?

 

[johnwilkins2001]

It's a 17'' Tft monitor

No idea then - sorry.

Problem solved, apparently if he holds ctrl, alt and then presses and arrow key it changes the positions, doesnt work on my crt so maybe it's exclusive to tft's?

Cheers

Ahhh makes sense now. Basically it rotates the screen. I thought you meant he had bent corners. (Trapezoid on a crt I think). My tft does the same.

Shortcut keys on the graphics control panel...
