One of two possibilities. 1. He has a video card that has options to change the screen rotation. 2. Someon has had the monitor open and messed with the yoke. Right click on the desktop and click properties. Click the settings tab and the advanced button. Look through the tabs and see if you can find options to rotate the screen. Some ATI cards have this option....

Hold the combination CTRL+ALT, and then on the arrow keys, press UP for it to go back to normal. LEFT and RIGHT will turn it to those orientations respectively =)

You should already use the whole screen.Try using F11.\n\nEDIT: Increase the resolution or if it appears black on each side mess with the settings like where the power button is. The setting would have something to do the the Horizontal Position.

Take a look at the dell support page...  They have adressed the problem and provided a fix.

I had this happen once (thanks to my two year old playing with the computer).  The way I fixed it was to right click on the desktop and choose Graphics Options.  Then chose Rotation and set it back to Normal.  I am using Windows XP Home Edition.  I hope this helps!

swears she never had problems with it? theres your answer. you got scammed buddy. i suggest you throw it out tha window. theres no hope. you could buy a brand new one for cheaper than what it will cost you for the computer nerds to fix.

Could be a dodgy mouse or keyboard.  Also try looking for sticky keys.\nIf it is a new computer then send it back and get it repaired for free.

I had this problem, and i resolved it by turning the laptop round and facing the other way. I have NO IDEA why it worked, but it did.

That happens sometimes on mine. You should be able to right-click the icon in the taskbar and Maximize or Resize it. It's probably more of an XP than a Dell problem.

Swap monitors. If he gets color back, then you've identified the issue. If not, it's probably the video card. Identify the card through windows device manager and update the current driver.\n\nMight not be a bad idea to run a virus scan, either.

Check out the display properties in control panel.  Some software lets you change the orientation of the screen image.  Otherwise, download any updates and do a thorough virus scan.  It sounds to me like a display properties, or joke program problem....\n\n-Zach

That happen to my computer one time and I just turn the monitor upside down. I findly Reinstalled Window and fixed it...

Ahh yes!  I have seen this before!  It's crazy!\n\nIt's different for each video card but try this.\n\nRight click on your desktop and in that menu that pop up check to see if there is a rotate option there.\n\nIf there isn't, right-click on your desktop and choose Graphic Options --> Graphic Properties.  You should find a roation option there.\n\nOtherwise I guess you will just have to turn your monitor onto its side! :)

I hope I'm wrong, But if the bars that you are talking about are on both sides, that means that the circutry that explands the horizontal are defective... if it is a desktop, try a different monitor, probably you'll find out that the problem goes away, which only means that is time for an upgrade... if it is on a laptop... is even worse... you'd have to find someone to repair it... but like I said, hopefully I'm wrong...

Do not whack it on the side, it is not a mechanical problem. This issue could be attributed to lack of RAM, how may RAM do you have? to check:\n\nRight click My Computer icon on Desktop> Properties> General Tab\n\nUsually laptops have 256 or 512 MB of RAM, sometimes when we have applications running, we run out of memory causing the system to freeze. If your system freezes, just wait till it is able to execute all the task you have ask it to do (one by one, slowly) let the computer take its time...\n\nOR better yet...upgrade your RAM....if you have 2 slots (normally), purchase 1GB of RAM...and you would not worry anymore, your computer will not get some spanking from you..
