Monitor orientation in 97 Lab

Some of you may have noticed the monitors in the 97 Lab can be switched fairly easily between landscape and portrait orientation. In order the function successfully in these different orientations the screen display also needs to be flipped. I can anticipate we may run into some problems where students who have changed the monitor orientation may forget to change it back. Here are the instructions for flipping the display on the monitor to landscape or portrait.

  1. Right click on the desktop
  2. Click on "Screen Resolution"
  3. Set "Orientation" to "Portrait" or "Landscape" or to whichever "flipped" version of this makes the mouse behave appropriately for how the monitor is oriented
  4. Click "Apply"
  5. Click "Keep Changes"
  6. Click "Ok"
