Has anyone ever had this happen? Daughter#2 was playing an on-line game that froze up. After Hub rebooted, the display on the monitor had rotated to the left by 90 degrees -- make reading and especially mousing a little tough. Since I'm the official IT gal at my house (scary thought), if became my job to get this fixed. I tried everything but to no avail. Finally, I mastered the skill of mousing on a sideways screen and did a Google search. Here's what I found out:
Ctrl-Alt-Up - right side up
Ctrl-Alt-Right - 90 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Down - 180 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Left - 270 degrees(If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)
It's a Windows feature that was apparently designed for tablet laptops. BUT, on a regular keyboard, you can apparently accidentally hit one of these sequences when you try to Ctrl-Alt-Del. How crazy is that?

heeheheee, I found this out by accident a couple of years ago and I was able to fix it too. It was kind of scary at first though because I was at work and I thought I had really messed up my computer.
I hope I never need that info, but thank you for posting it...ya never know.
BTW, they're looking for fill-ins for DRTS. If you want to play this year send an email to:

telling her you'd like to be a sub for dishrag tag.
Hope you get in! We're havin' a blast.
