desktop cues on its side

[Guest bcapel]

Somehow i've managed to cause my desktop whenever it cues up to cue up on its

side rather than its normal format. How do I get it back to normal format?

Thanks

What does "cue up on its side" mean?

 

Do you mean that the screen image has been rotated so that is

sideways? If so, read on:

 

The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video

card, to help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait

orientation. You accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some arrow key.

Rotate it back using those keys.

....or if you mean that the bar most of us expect to be at the bottom of the

screen is now at the side, just make sure that it is unlocked and then

click-drag on an empty space and move it where you want it. It is normally

at the bottom but can exist at either side or at the top.
