Thank you Major Geeks from my Dad

My Dad (72yrs old) just bought his first computer yesterday and was delighted with the system. However he called me today in a state of panic - his screen was upside down and he had no recollection of pressing any wrong buttons confused
Luckily I was surfing around MG's when he called me in his hour of need.
First of all he could not get through to Dell Customer Support for over an hour and when he did manage to get connected, he could not understand the young mans' accent!

Step in MajorGeeks.com with the Search facility and 1 minute later we have 'All Systems Go'

:clap :clap to this website AND to all the volunteers here who have supplied the answers to thousands of questions

Another satisfied customer - all thanks to YOU

 

Ya Laura, it could be a genetic thing.LOL Glad you got your dad's system up and running Grumbs, that would be disconcerting for a first time user, jeez, I'd freak if I saw that! :eek

 

The answer given by MG member was : -"right click desktop, properties, settings, advanced. Go to your video card tab and look for screen rotation".

Another solution is Ctrl Alt and (up)arrow. This corrects upside down or sideways screens

 

Hehe, I think his dad has enough of a learning curve ATM. I'm sure dad will teach Grumbs a thing or two in due course.LOL

 

Surfing on penguins, I'll bet.
It's great that you got your dad straightened out.

 

Nuff said

 

when he comes on MGs what login name and avatar will he have

MAJOR GRUMBLES

Yea I echo Kestrel13! statement, my father(87) who when I was a child was always a "forward" thinker will have nothing to do with computers, which limits him completely. Constantly learning is what keeps us young at heart and mind, great to hear Grumbles your dad rocks
