I get calls from my drivers in the field where the screen will have turned sideways and they cannot get it to turn back around or finish the job. I've searched and cannot find anything regarding this, nor in the manual. Any help?

Hello, did you turn off the bluetooth? have you changed your back light settings? If you want you can give me a call or send me an e-mail and i can walk you through the settings.
That sounds like your video card drivers are set to rotate your screen. If you right click on your desktop away from any icons in the menu you should see the graphics card properties for your NVIDA/INTEL/ATI card depending on what is installed. You will just need to go through those screens to configure the drivers until you see the section for rotating the screen. Just set it back to normal once you locate it and hit apply.
If you do not see anything from a video card manufacture you can try clicking on proprieties in that same menu. You will see a new window called Display Properties and your driver settings could be here. Check the Settings take and the Advanced button if you are having problems finding it. Feel free to link to a screen shot of what you are seeing in the menus if you can not find the rotation settings.
Power off the laptop.
Power it on and tap F2 at the Dell logo. check if the screen is sidways in the BIOS or not. If it looks normal in the BIOS restart the computer and go to control panel and uninstall the Video drivers. Restart the computer. It will boot up with basic drivers. Install the video drivers and the issue should be fixed.
If the display is side ways even in the BIOS try a BIOS update from support.dell.com and if you dont have an update reflash the BIOS with teh version availbale on the website.
Does it respond to keyboard entry? If not, check to see if the "lock" icon on the screen is in the locked position. It's real easy to accidentially lock the device. If it is, just click on the lock and confirm that you want to unlock.
The next few can be a problem if the screen is not responding, so you'll need to figure out the keyboard equivalent:
You may also want to check the system settings. I believe there is a setting that will enable you to "turn off" the touch screen function.
Finally, try a touchscreen alignment in the system settings.
For MS Exchange Syncing:
Start --> Programs --> ActiveSync
Tap on Menu (bottom right), tap on Options then tap on the DELETE button at the bottom of the screen. Accept the warning messages and the ActiveSync screen will return to the setup screen
No,
Not using the touch screen.
But you can reboot from the POWER Button
By holding it in for 5 Secounds, ( this is a warm reboot)
By holding the power button plus the 1and the 9 buttonat the same time is a cold boot. This is a better way...
Hope this helps you!!!
