Working on a laptop, you can adjust the image on its screen as you like, for example, rotate it 180 degrees. Different versions of the OS installed in the laptop provide their own ways of changing the display orientation.
Instructions
Step 1
See what operating system is installed in the laptop. If it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click on the desktop, in an area free of windows and shortcuts, and open the context menu, where at the bottom you will see a sub-item "Screen resolution". Select it and the display settings dialog will launch.
Step 2
Click on the "Orientation" label and select the appropriate option for screen rotation in the drop-down list. There are four possible ways to rotate the display. Select the required option and press the "OK" key.
Step 3
Use an even shorter way to rotate the screen image in these operating systems. To do this, in the same context menu that opens by right-clicking on the desktop, move the cursor over the "Graphics Settings" area. Select the "Rotation" subsection located in the menu. This also gives you access to four options for adjusting the orientation of the screen image. Select the one you want.
Step 4
Set the screen orientation in Windows XP. The way to rotate the image in this case will depend on the model of the installed video card. If the manufacturer is NVIDIA, when you right-click on the desktop in the drop-down menu, you will see the NVIDIA Control Panel sub-item. Select it and in the panel that opens, click in the list of tasks on the left on the value "Display rotation". This will give you access to four standard orientation options. Select the appropriate item and close the NVIDIA panel.
