Try Display> Settings> Advanced. Look for an option similar to "rotate"

I was on the computer when my one year old son came up and smacked the keyboard on my laptop, then all of a sudden, the screen was rotated horizontally! So after much fustration and tilting my head sideways, I finally figured it out...........I hope this helps.....

go to control panel, click on display, then click on the settings tab, now click advanced, there's a tab on the very top right across all the other tabs, mines says Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile; click on it then click on graphics properties, go to display settings, there's a section that is labeled "rotation" and now you just adjust it according to your situation, and wah-lah!!!! You can also uncheck the box thats labeled "enable rotation" so you wont find yourslef in this situation again hope this helps !!!!!

Lots of graphics hardware share the following shortcut:

Ctrl+Alt+Up = Remove any rotation.

While you're at it, try the other arrows too which just make that direction's edge the new top.

Which Graphics Card do you have, usually you can turn it back to normal in the Control Panel of the driver (e.g. Catalyst Control Centre for ATI)
