Fix a Sideways or Upside Down Screen in Windows





So, the screen display on your Windows desktop PC or laptop is suddenly sideways or upside down and you have no idea what to do. Don't panic! You won't need to crane your neck or physically flip your monitor over. This is a much more common situation than you might think, and can usually be resolved with just a keyboard shortcut or a few mouse clicks.
The most likely reason that you find yourself in this predicament is because you have accidentally pressed the wrong keys, incorrectly adjusted a display setting or connected an external monitor or other viewing device.

Here's how to fix a sideways or upside screen on Windows 7, 8, and 10.

Keyboard Shortcuts

In some scenarios, the following keyboard shortcuts may be used to rotate your display. Whether or not these shortcuts are available is dependent on several factors including what video card is in your system as well as what software you have installed. It is also possible that your particular configuration does offer these hotkey combinations, but that they need to be manually enabled before they can be used. We recommend taking the keyboard route first, since it's fairly quick and easy and could come in handy if you encounter this problem again in the future.
The most common keyboard shortcut combinations to rotate your screen are as follows:
  • CTRL+ALT+Up Arrow
  • CTRL+ALT+Down Arrow
  • CTRL+Alt+Left Arrow
  • CTRL+Alt+Right Arrow.
If pressing these keys simultaneously does not seem to have any effect, you can try the following steps to ensure that hotkeys are enabled with your particular graphics card or you can just proceed to the next method shown below for resolving this issue.

  1. Right-click in an empty space on your desktop.
  2. A menu should appear containing several choices. Depending on your setup, you may see an option labeled Graphic Settings or something similar, from which you should be able to control hotkey activation.

    Note: This option is only available on certain hardware.

Soon to be Launched Windows 8 Consumer Preview

Before sometime, we wrote about Windows 8 developer’s  preview, and now the time has come when Microsoft is going to release Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview soon to be Launched.

Finally Windows 8 Consumer Preview is going to be released in upcoming days at Mobile World Congress (MWC).The Mobile World Congress will be held on 29 Feb in Barcelona, Spain.



So, In this article we’ll be discussing some of the tips which needs to be followed while dealing with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview like How you are going to deal with the new beta version of Windows 8, What steps to be followed after downloading the Windows 8 beta version and many more such things.
The minimum hardware configuration required to successfully operate Windows 8 are:
# 1 GHz Processor

# DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 driver
# 16 GB & 20 GB HDD free space for 32-bit & 64-bit OS respectively
Do not install beta version directly into your main working PC, instead install it on the less used system in order to check out its working and features. And in my advice do not try this beta version on Laptops, Tablets or any other devices as PC have generic drivers that will make the system operational. Since it is beta version only so need of experimenting it on your daily working devices.
Also do not try installing Windows 8 over Windows 7, it is preferred to first format the hard drive and then install a fresh copy of Windows 8. If you still face some problem then it is definitely Windows 8 causing the problem.
Now the Question will arise in your mind: Will Windows 8 install in my system if it does not possess ARM based motherboard?
As we all know, currently there are very few people who have the possession of ARM based motherboard. So, do not worry about it as it will not be an issue for you. As it is the beta version it will be easily installed in any latest configured motherboard.  So, your PC would easily handle Windows 8 beta version. You will be able to access almost all the features of Windows 8 like Tile interface, reset & refresh feature and other many more new features. Since Windows 8 is touch centric so its touch screen options will also work but only on Touch screen monitor.

Performance Tunning

Memory Management
We need to create / modify registry keys. Run regedit and locate the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

PagedPoolSize
Typically a DWORD value for PagedPoolSize will exist. If it does not exist, then create a new DWORD value called PagedPoolSize. Modify the value and enter a value of ffffffff (hexadecimal) – that is eight 'f's.

PoolUsageMaximum
Create a new DWORD value called PoolUsageMaximum and specify a value of 60 (decimal).

SessionPoolSize
Typically a DWORD value for SessionPoolSize will exist. If it does not exist, then create a new DWORD value called SessionPoolSize. Modify the value and enter a value of 48 (decimal).

SessionViewSize
Typically a DWORD value for SessionViewSize will exist. If it does not exist, then create a new DWORD value called SessionViewSize. Modify the value and enter a value of 68 (decimal).
The default value for SessionViewSize is 20 (MB). Increase this value by multiples of 16 (MB) as needed.

Lanman Server
We need to create / modify registry keys. Run regedit and locate the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Size
A DWORD value for Size will exist with a value of 1. Modify the value and enter a value of 3 (decimal).

IRPStackSize
The IRP Stack Size specifies the number of stack locations in I/O request packets (IRP) that are used by the operating system. This value may need to be increased for certain transports such as Media Access Control (MAC) drivers and file system drivers. Each stack uses 36 bytes of kernel memory for each receive buffer. The default value is 15. Valid range of values are 11 (0x0b hexadecimal) to 50 (0x32 hexadecimal).
Typically a DWORD value for IRPStackSize will not exist. This indicates that the default value of 15 is in effect. If it does not exist, create a new DWORD value called IRPStackSize. Modify the value and enter a value of 24 (decimal).
If the problem with resources still persists after completing this procedure, increase the value by small increments.
