Help, my screen has changed and I cant stand it.

[Matt Miller]

Help, my screen has changed (see attached picture) and I would like it changed back to the normal view. Not sure how I did it, was moving my keyboard and it happened. It has a strange view to it now, like a cross view with color and the rest of it is washed out. Please help.

Have you tried switching your desktop background image back to the default picture to see if the problem persists.
What video card (GPU) are you using and do you have the latest driver installed for it?

Since you don't mention what you have done, can we assume you have rebooted? Or at least sign out and back in?

Otherwise, the screen will grey out like that if it is waiting on something to be done. I can't see your Taskbar to see what you have running or if any icon is highlighted. I can say I have not seen such a display situation as you show. It almost looks like it is trying to change orientation but is caught between the two modes.

I have restarted my computer and signed off as well, screen did not change back.

I suppose the next thing I would suggest is to go through some of the Keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps an Alt+F4 would close whatever might be open. Maybe a Ctrl+Z would back out of some process.

Are you using virtual desktops or have you tried going to one?

Tried both options, still no progress. Thank you for your responses, I definitely do appreciate it.
