| Computer help PLEASE!!!! Help w/ Computer My cat laid on my keyboard and now my entire screen is sideways. I am looking at it sideways. I have no idea how to fix it back to normal. It sounds funny, but it really isn’t.

if you're on windows xp you can do a recover to the day before or wherever you have a date set up - mine doesn't work now but that would be what I'd try too - That's a new one to me - very interesting but I bet VERY annoying | |

I have to reformat my whole computer one of these days cause mine is running so slow and my system restore pooped out ...I used it quite often - it sure saves hours of fooling around especially when we aren't sure of what happened - | |

| Man, talk about a freakout, and of course all the wording was distorted. Now that I know about system restore I feel a bit more secure knowing if I screw something up it can be easily remedied..... Thanks again for the quick replies.

| Oh, this happened to me at work. YOu can also go to display settings and change the ratio of your screen. It will get back to normal that way as well.
