Maco70 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Whenever I boot up portal on my computer, the game comes up turned left. I tried ctrl+alt+up (Intel processor) and it didn't help. Any idea? In other news, Portal is free on Steam right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 by turned left, do you mean the display is rotated 90° counter clockwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maco70 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yes. It is a wide screen monitor, and the display is rotated 90 degrees left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I assume you have already gone through the driver update process? and you don't have any programs that would load a unique video profile when a game starts? The NVidia control panel can be set up so that it does this. Some other things to try: 1. Load the game and select Options 2. Select the Video tab 3. From the Display Mode dropdown select the Widescreen option 4. Select an appropriate resolution from the Resolution dropdown 5. Click Apply to use your new settings and 1. Open Steam 2. Go to the "My Games" tab 3. Right-click the game which needs to be reconfigured 4. Select "Properties" from the menu 5. Click the "Set launch options..." button 6. Add -autoconfig at the end of the line, be sure to include a space before the " - " and anything before it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maco70 Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I just assume that the computer I was using can't handle it for whatever reason, and tried a different computer. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
