Dart16 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 portrait mode for screens and printers usually refers to the screen or paper orientation - portrait = larger height than width landscape =larger width than height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 portrait mode meant I had to either twist my head sideways to read screen or stand compuer on its side ! did not improve my neck muscles or my head thks all now fixed.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tel Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Control Panel >Display > Change Display Settings > Change Orientatation to 'Landscape'. This is in Windows 7 but should be the same in XP and Vista.Normally this problem only occurs on Laptops because the settings are usually available in the system tray.
