YesterdayAloha,
A few months ago I was tweaking my brother's computer, and one of the hot keys I use for Window eyes caused his New Dell computer to rotate it's screen. Unfortunately, I don't remember which hot keys caused the screen to change. However, I think the key to flipping it back was either the left arrow or the up arrow, in combination with an alt or a control, or both and an left or up arrow.
I hope this helps the next time you flip your lid, sorry, I mean your screen!
Good luck,
Manny

Yesterday was a very interesting morning. I had been studying about Window-Eyes on the Friday before and so expected things to go on as usual.
I booted up, and nothing in my email would read. I noticed when I booted up and was about to log on, that it said something about size. But I wondered if something was up with the screen.
I called a friend, and she laughed and said my screen was turned sideways. I'd never heard of such a thing. She tried a few things, but nothing happened.
We finally called the Office of Information and Technology (known as OIT) and the man remotely logged on to my computer so he could take a look. It's amazing to me how one person in one building can log on to another computer across the complex without blinking.
Anyway, he tried different things, and couldn't find the "rotate" option in the control panel. He tried several times and couldn't find it.
Finally, he updated my video card, I rebooted, and things looked sort of ok. He found the option he was looking for, did some other things, and I was back in business. My friend said she was glad, because her neck hurt, trying to look sideways!
She mentioned about something up with Window-Eyes, and I said that was my department, and, if necessary, I could call for support.
Went into the email (we use Microsoft Outlook here) and still couldn't figure out what was up. Kept outlook on the screen, and went into WE control panel. went into "General", thought I'd press V and see what happened. Trumpet sound! I could read again! I have the keyboard voice off as I can't stand letters/words being told me as I type.
Anyway, all turned out well, and I was happy.
Now, I have a small question. The We Manual has no detailed section about email. I couldn't find it anyway. How does one find and open attachments in outlook with Window-eyes? I'm going to email myself and attach something, and see if what I'm thinking works. I'll let you know. Meanwhile, maybe someone has an idea or two.
Thanks all! Sorry to be so long, but I thought it'd be an interesting story to tell!
