At 24 pounds, I'm impressed he could get up onto the keyboard. Bull (21 pounds) cannot.

Can you do a system restore to a day earlier than when kitty sat on the keys?

Since it's a Dell. Call them up and tell them this story. If they don't Zot you, they've probably got a fix.

Just put your monitor on its side!

Not exactly sure what you mean, but going into the control panel, switch to classic view and click on the display icon. You might be able to get to somehow reset it back to where it was.... Keep the kitty litter handy....

The new Dell flat screen monitors, some of them, can be rotated like the old Xerox word processor screens. Maybe a google would turn up something.

If you have a dell monitor, have you checked to see if that isnt the cause of your problem?

Try the menu/controls on the monitor itself.

Just a guess here, but are you sure it was the keys that did it? If he was on the keyboard, he may well have brushed against the controls on the monitor itself. Play with the knobs on the monitor itself and see if it fixes it.

I offer this because I worked at a credit collection agency, and at least 3 times a week someone came up to me with the "my computer is broken, it won't turn on!" problem. 70% of the time, the correct solution was to turn the brightness knob that they had somehow spun all the way down, up. The other 29% of the time was to plug it back in after they'd kicked the cord out of the wall.

It wasn't your cat. It's a computer virus secretly put out by the American Association of Chiropractors.

Try rotating the cat 180 degrees and resitting him on the keyboard.

Let that be a lesson to you.
Your cat is probably surfing DU while you're away.
