I want to rotate a monitor 90 degrees, but the usual CTRL-ALT-arrow command isn't working. Where is the menu to enable that? I'm using Windows XP.

EDIT Monitor: HP L2245wg Graphics card: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285

I actually already have the monitor rotated, but I would like to use the keystrokes in the future rather than digging through eight windows.

What monitors/graphics card do you have? – ChrisF Oct 9 '09 at 16:02

That shortcut is typically enabled through the Nvidia control panel. I have no idea if it is also available on ATI cards.

Take a look in the ATI / Nvidia program and see if you can enable it as a option, if it does not support the hotkeys, you should manually be able to rotate the screen.

I haven't tried it, but iRotate says it will enable Ctrl-Alt-Arrow shortcuts for most graphics cards in Windows XP.

the ctrl+alt+arrow combination you want is from Intels graphics driver. It's not something that's built into Windows XP.

Different manufacturers have different options to enable this and I don't really see anything about Nvidia having this.
