Right click on your desktop, go to "Graphic Options", "Rotation" and rotate appropriately.

And for the mouse you probably have it set on Left handed mouse, you can switch that in mouse properties.

Ok...this has me perplexed...
My screen is ok (but I was reading this and tried the right click on the desktop and I don't get the "graphic options". I only get properties (there is nothing in there for graphic options), paste, arrange, etc...
Am I losing it or what?

Properties-> settings -> depending on your vid card some stuff will come up there, then if you hit advanced you get even more to play with.

When I was a little kid, I had a friend who's dad was a computer programmer that worked from home, this is in the 8088 and 286 days. He had this killer keyboard that was compleatly programable, so you could make "K" type "L" insted if you wanted. One day my friends little brother was messing with it and reprogrammed the whole thing! Even the programming keys were reprogrammed, eventually he had to call the MFG and find out that if you took the back off (took the keyboark apart) there was a "Reset" button.

Just depends on the video card. Some have this ability and some don't. Many of the newer Dell PCs have it.
