Hya Sheesh :-) This sounds like a joke trojan that someone has sent you. Although they're not harmful,they are really annoying if you don't know how to get rid of them. The only thing i can suggest is putting your mouse to the top left-hand corner and seeing if a box comes up to delete the hoax programme. If that doesn't work try the other corners. Let me know how it goes ok ? Valley ;-)

Ive come in from work and turned on my puter only to find that everything has turned on its side! By that i mean ive had to turn the monitor on its side so everything is the right way up - i got sick of trying to turn my head enough:-) I presume the kids have been faffing and theyre asleep now and im not going to wake them up to ask them what theyve done lol. Has anybody got a clue?

Is it TFT screen?

**Sheesh

**Sheesh Report 25 Jan 2007 22:56

Errol do you mean a flat screen, if you do then no its not. Valley have tried the corners and no boxes came up - its very annoying. Could it just be that my monitors a few years old and is going a bit haywire?

ok if it's an older CRT screen it doesn't mean it is starting to give up the ghost. Either, as was said earlier, it is a joke 'virus' or someone has been fiddling with your settings.

Rosie you're a genius lol Errol, Bob i think you must mean the shortcut keys for what Rosie's just told me to do - rightclick on the desktop, choose rotation something and put it back to normal? What i'd like to know is what the kids did to get it like that in the first place lol How stupid do i feel now ????
