Hello all

So I left work last night with all things being normal on my PC. When I left work last night I had 'locked' my PC and first thing this morning sat at my desk and signed on. So... normally my screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768 but this morning it 'magicly' was set to 768 x 1024 making everything appear sideways on the screen. My first guess was that someone was playing around with my PC last night but given that it was locked with my userid I question weither these is what happened.

So my question has this happened to anyone else? Do I need to be worried about a virus?

I am not too concerned about it, but I am kinda curious about it all.

P.S I am running win2000
 
could be a virus... also could be your video card driver had a hiccup because its on 24-7...

I'd uninstall the device in device manager ..reboot and let it install the same driver again...

I've seen resolutions pop out before but never a sideways screen
