How to Fix a Problem With a Windows Vista Home Desktop That Is Sideways
- 1). Open the Control Panel and switch to "Classic View" if necessary. Double-click the "Tablet PC Settings" icon. If you're having trouble navigating the menus due to the odd screen orientation, keep in mind that mouse movement corresponds to the screen's current state, not its actual physical placement.
- 2). Click the "Display" tab and select "Orientation" drop-down menu. Click on "Primary landscape." This option returns the screen to the default upright position. The "Primary portrait" and "Secondary portrait" options rotate the screen 90 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively, while the "Secondary landscape" option moves the screen upside-down.
- 3). Click "Apply" to return the screen to normal. Click "OK" to close the window. If you have multiple monitors connected, this will only affect the one listed as the primary device.
