How to Turn the Screen Right Side Up on Your Dell Laptop Computer
Looking at a sideways or upside down screen on your Dell laptop may give you that "Uh-oh" feeling that you've got a big problem. Don't worry, it's actually pretty simple to fix:
1. Press the Ctrl and the Alt keys down together. Then, press the up arrow key to turn the screen on your Dell laptop right side up. Just for fun, you can press the down arrow key while you hold the Ctrl and Alt keys down to turn the screen upside down. Or, press the left or right arrow keys to turn the Dell laptop computer screen either way.
2. You can also right-click on the screen to bring up a white box. Click on the "Graphics Options", then choose "Rotation". Click on the "Normal" setting to turn the screen right side up on your Dell laptop.
Option #2 can be tricky to do. It's harder to click on selections when your computer screen is tilted to the left, right, or upside down.
