First off, welcome to Compuforums. We hope that you are here to give advice as well as receiving advice from others.

Now, my typing sucks terribly. My grammar sometimes is desired very little , by others. But, I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Are you wanting to know how to get your tool bar on the left, or is it on the left and you want to move it from there? And you mentioned your laptop is running.........you might want to go and catch it.......just kidding. Please try to clarify your thread a little more so myself and others can assist you.

just restet to 0
thats it
thanks to those that answered

Cool. I kinda thought that is what you meant but, was unsure. You can also right click on the screen and go to graphics options, which addresses only rotation. Sounds like others were having some fun at your expense.

I've seen this, but have not done it yet. I was wondering how it was done. Of course my crt does not seem able to have this option. Hope you get it switched back.
