Bizarre screen problem - rotated 90'

Hi,

This is a bizarre problem that I haven't encountered before. Went through the README and searched the forum but cannot find anything remotely connected - apologies if I've missed something.

In a nutshell, I installed dosbox 0.63 on Vista. Loaded it up, ran a game, went into full screen mode by alt+enter; sometime later the game screwed up, and subsequently tried to exit full screen by alt+enter again; when returned to my desktop, my screen had rotated itself 90' to the right in its entireity.

Doesn't revert back to normal upon uninstalling / deletion, nor any attempts at the Z:\ command prompt. It does however revert to normal in safemode.

Any ideas on the cause / solution to this? Pretty stumped (and have neck ache) atm. Any help would be really appreciated!

Cheers,
David

DOSBox can not have caused this. Must be a Vista thing / some magic key-combo you can use to turn the screen output around.

And - when you get this fixed, don't use 0.63. Use 0.72 or the upcoming 0.73.

Thanks got it sorted, you were right, a lot easier to find when I knew it wasn't caused by dosbox.
