   Vista menus open to the left... HELP
  http://www.sivusuunnittelukeranen.com/janu/menu.jpgWhy on earth is this happening? Firefox shows these menus right, but just about every other menu is flipped to the left side when opened.Is there some setting I should be aware of? I've searched every place imaginable but found nothing. Google DIDN'T help at all and Windows Help was of course useless. It's annoying as hell because I don't even know when this started and why. I normally use only Firefox when I'm at my computer.EDIT: Ok, I finally found it."Control Panel | Tablet PC Settings, General tab, set Handedness to LeftHanded to make menus fly out to the right. "What changed that in the first place? I don't know. I have never even touched those settings before.   
  That's strange. Do you use a tablet PC? If so, maybe it auto-assumes your right handed so it drops the menus to the left so your hand doesn't block them. If not... well thats just weird.   ;Quote:Original post by lethalhamsterDo you use a tablet PC?yeah and furthermore here's how to choose)   ;  Oddly enough I had the exact same problem recently, and I've never touched those settings either. I ended up writing a program to call SystemParametersInfo with SPI_SETMENUDROPALIGNMENT to fix it. I've since reinstalled Vista so I don't know if those tablet settings were to blame.   ;  Thank goodness I don't use FireFox, then.Stupid custom widgets that don't respect menu handedness (amongst other platform settings).You may begin the flame war [grin]   ;Quote:Original post by lethalhamsterThat's strange. Do you use a tablet PC?Nope, I've never had tablet PC. This isn't even a laptop PC. Regular desktop machine.   ;  Maybe there is a combination of keys to switch the setting ? On XP, I always had a similar problem with the keyboard (English/French) until I realized I sometimes accidentely hit the combination of keys to switch it.Y.
