laptop HELP!

My cats were clearly playing on my laptop when they shouldn't have been and have somehow flipped something so that the right side of my monitor is now the top of the screen. I have to tilt my head sideways to read anyrhing and even the mouse direction is all messed up.

HOW DO I FIX THIS?

It's driving me batty and I can't for the life of me find an answer! I've tried rebooting, I've looked in the control panel display options and nothing tells me how to fix it!



HELP!

I'm not sure what you mean... it's not just one window, it's everything. my entire desktop, background, everything. It's like the whole display was flipped ot the side.

One of my students did this in my classroom as a joke when I was absent. crash

Um, I have a Mac at home, so bear with me- I'm trying to remember...
I think U have to go into where U can change the desktop picture and there is an option for flipping the direction of the screen.... hmmm

They did it when I was sleeping.


I say "they", but I know exactly which naughty little kitty it was.

giggle Those rascally little kitties. That sounds like something my cat Reebok would do (if he knew how).
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
