My monitor seems to be working fine except for the fact that everything is sideways. I have to put my monitor on it's side to view anything. Does anyone know how to adjust this.
It did this the other day and I just shut the computer down then restarted it, now it keeps coming up that way. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with windows because when it starts up the DELL comes across the screen the right way it's not until the desktop comes up that everything is sideways
You have your video card set to rotate the screen after Windows loads.
Go into your display properties using it's control panel and look for the rotate section. Set it back to 0 degrees. Make sure you click apply and then OK, not just OK.
Windows XP has a funny key command that rotates the screen. Its Ctrl + Alt + any directional key (up, down, left, right) depending on which way you would like to rotate your view. I know this works on Windows XP Home edition, not sure that it works on Professional.

Based on your brief description, I think your problem is correctable in the control panel under monitor settings. Depending on your operating system (XP, Vista, Windows 7) you will need to find the monitor settings and look for the advanced section for the Nvidia Video Card. In there you should find a setting to flip the monitor view between Portrait and Landscape. The settings may be named differently, but there will likely be a graphic representation to show you the different settings available.
Hello there.
Seems like electronics pack up but try an old one. disconnect all the data cables from your monitor side(HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, USB etc.) or computer side if the ones on display are built-in. Leave only the power cable. Unplug the monitor`s power cable. Press the POWER button on the front of the display and keep it pressed for 45 secs. Plug everything back and give it a try.
Good luck.
If you would start the Dell in safe mode, you should be able to adjust the display settings to values that will work with the monitor. Or remove the monitor in the device manager and let windoze detect and configure the monitor on the next boot.
I suppose you have Nvidia Card Installed if yes then Right Click Your Desktop and select Nvidia select Standard Settings and go to Display + Rotate Display and set No Rotation . Thats it!
You will need to go into the display adapter from the control panel and select rotate display. Some monitors have are configurable for ceiling mounting for class rooms and other public viewing.
