Ok, I'm sure there is probably a simple solution to this, but I never claimed to be particularly computer smart, so I hope someone here will tell me how to fix this.

Larry, the cat, walked on my laptop keyboard and now the screen is sideways. How do I turn it back the way it's supposed to be?

(I'm posting this on my desktop.)

Thanks for any help.

Yep: To correct this problem simply click CTRL + ALT + Up Arrow.

Yay! That's it! Thank you very much.

Hopefully I'll remember that for next time.

Thanks again (and Larry was trying to walk on my desktop keyboard while I typed this. )

That would have been flat out hysterical if he would have done it to your desktop too

Least it didn't see your laptop as a litter box.

That would not have been good.

I've actually caught Larry using the toilet! A couple of weeks ago, I went into the bathroom and he was sitting on the seat, peeing into the toilet.

I've heard that you can "train" cats to do this, and I think there are "kits" that encourage them to do it, but I swear to god, I never showed Larry how to use the toilet (unless he was watching me and I didn't realize it ).

I don't know if it was a one time thing - I haven't seen him do it since but then I don't follow him around either. I wish he'd teach my other cats how to do it. And poop, too.
