 Sideways Display

Months ago I had my display end up sideways also. Of course, with Window
Eyes, I did not know it. Window Eyes reads right side up all the time. A
friend tried to fix it in control panel, but the system crashed every time
he went into the display part of the control panel. He booted up in safe
mode and found 2 entries for video drivers in the registry. He deleted
them both and rebooted, thereby forcing a new installation of video
drivers. This fixed it.

Just recently I was told that the display is sideways again. I have no
idea how this gets this way, nor can I fix it myself. Fortunately, Window
Eyes is serving me well in the meantime. It's too bad that sighted people
have the handicap of needing the display right side up.

TTFN,

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!
