Default Our Cat Walked Across The Keyboard And ...

Changed the display resolution of my daughter's laptop!
I cannot find a key combination documented that will do
that. Does anyone know of one for a Toshiba Satellite
M55 running XP Home?

Thanks,
Gary

Right click in an empty spot on the desktop and select properties and then
the settings tab.

I am sure the cat couldn't have done that! I think the OP wanted to
know how could the cat change the display resolution by walking across
the keyboard. Is there any key combination to do so?

To the OP: Splitting the question between the subject and body of the
message is a bad idea.

Anna, you are right, it's impossible.

Uhmmm, maybe a Toshiba specific software? but Windows XP doesn't have
any kind of combinations for that.

Interrogate the cat, it wants the attention.

Next look at the video driver, the hotkey combinations it
documents as being capable of this.

Gary, that's called " A-big-boy-dunnit-and-ran-away" syndrome. Poor
wee cat taking the rap.
But, let's face it, it's as good a story as any. :-)
You don't need my input as you have enough here. ATB.

The cat pissed on the keyboard and shorted the thing.

Try keeping it warm and scratching gently under the chin.
Interrogation under Bushs rules is not going to be productive.
