Screen rotation

[topbobster]

Hi everyone, am new here in the hope of finding a resolution to a non urgent problem.

I have an HP laptop running Windows XP home, 2002, SP 3. Graphics card: Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family. I am using a lovely 22 inch wide screen monitor from my laptop and am trying to find out if I can rotate the screen and therefore the monitor to work on portrait orientation work in Photoshop. I cannot find any reference to screen rotation in graphics properties so am either looking in the wrong place or my graphics card simply does not support (although I do think that a little strange, so it's probably me....). Can anyone help/advise/point in right direction?

Cheers,

Rob

Have you tried CTRL+ALT+ Arrow Keys?

Another option is to go into your Control Panel,open your Display Control Panel.

You should find under Rotate Screen,a number of options,eg: Portrait-Landscape etc

HTH.

Hi DSTM thanks for the reply. I've tried looking in Display properties but still cannot find anything to do with screen rotation.

Hi

 

Just press Alt + Ctrl + {the up arrow} like DSTM said then the screen should be okay.

Keayboard shortcuts

 

I did a little research before posting here and these keyboard shortcuts were the first thing I tried, apologies for not pointing that out when I made my initial post, but they do not work either.

Thanks for your time.

I am using a laptop with an external monitor. It is true that the arrows will not work. Are you using the external monitor as an extended desktop, a clone of your laptop screen or alone?

 

DSTM's suggestion that you go to your screen resolution (right click on your desktop and there should be a screen resolution option to click. (in Windows7 at least) in XP you may have to select graphics properties. When you get to the window that shows you the numbered monitors click on your external (usually 2) and you should be able to change from landscape to portrait.

Hi,

 

There are few keyboard combinations to change the desktop orientation of your computer. simply you can hold ctrl and press the right arrow key to change the orientation. you can also change it by right clicking on desktop -> properties -> screen resolution
