Help, very wierd monitor problem *fixed*

[stinkwheel]

Been playing Final Fantasy 7. (proper version, not pirated) The game crashed (black screen) and when I restarted the computer, windows is rotated through 90 degrees to the right.

I shit you not, I have the monitor on its side as I type.

Oddly, if I start the game again, everything is the right way up.

Running windows XP.

Anyone know what the hell is going on?

I have a radeon gfx card and in the monitor settings there is a shortcut for rotating the screen. I think it's Ctrl + ALT + R

maybe you have something similar and you pressed the shortcut keys by mistake?

Should be under advanced Display settings somewhere.

Cool, fixed it. There was a 'rotate screen' thingy in the graphics card clicky thing in the control panel.

Bloody things .

Yeah thats mostly designed for TFT's as they are able to swivel so you can type things in portrait mode, which can help somewhat.
