Go to your monitor setup under Settings and change the orientation.

48 hours? You're quite the masochist, aren't you?

Seriously, I think this'll depend on your video card. E.g., I have a
1905FP monitor and an nVidia 6600 video card. The following mouse clicks
takes me to a screen where I can set Landscape/Portrait mode for my monitor:

1. right click on desktop
2. left click Properties
3. left click Settings
4. left click Advanced
5. left click GeForce 6600 tab
6. left click NVRotate

Never tried it myself.

Glad to hear it's solved. Sounds like a different path to the same
solution for your machine's particular configuration.

PS: I'm no hardware buff myself.
