anyone here have kids? that have made their laptop display go sideways?
 

i can fix it each time by pressing function f4...however how can i set it to stay the proper way?

Mine just fuck up the icons on my tablet.

my lil girl did that to me one day i was like wtf, she done broke my lappy lol

had never used the function, now i do it to other people laptops when they aint looking

lol..not funny

i have to change it each time i log on...even checked properties etc...ah well

I have cats for that... some of the weird and obscure shortcuts they've managed to invoke when running across the keyboard...

Press Control, Alt, and Up Arrow buttons at the same time.

she used to have an imac in her room but now she has an ipad so nothing to really mess up

tried that and everything else that is obvious

nothing is fixing it...i dont see any good help from HP either

right?
he just mashes the keyboard and sets all these weird funtions..lol

Tried restoring it to an earlier date to see if that undoes it?

from 2007 post -

I was on the computer when my one year old son came up and smacked the keyboard on my laptop, then all of a sudden, the screen was rotated horizontally! So after much fustration and tilting my head sideways, I finally figured it out...........I hope this helps.....

go to control panel, click on display, then click on the settings tab, now click advanced, there's a tab on the very top right across all the other tabs, mines says Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile; click on it then click on graphics properties, go to display settings, there's a section that is labeled "rotation" and now you just adjust it according to your situation, and wah-lah!!!! You can also uncheck the box thats labeled "enable rotation" so you wont find yourslef in this situation again hope this helps !!!!!

still messed up

i think i need to go with my buddies suggestion...time for laptop shopping...haha

OK, time for more specific questions:

what operating system?

What model of HP?
