Somehow I hit some keystroke that puy my PC in portrait
mode. I cannot get it to undo. Monitor is now sitting
on it's side so I can use my PC. PLEASE HELP!!!

Right click desktop, properties, settings, advanced, look around for a
setting to rotate the screen, set it back to normal.

It doesn't matter about the drivers. Go to the Display applet in Control
Panel. Look at the Adapter tab. You might have to click the Advanced
button. Somewhere in that area will be a place to change Rotation. That
will fix your portrait mode.

Sometimes drivers do matter. My ATI Radeon 9200(dual output) did not have
the option to rotate the screen with the original radeon drivers. I just
upgraded to the lastest version of the radeon drivers and now my card has
the ability to rotate the screen.

Yes, but if the drivers didn't have the option to rotate to start with,
the OP wouldn't have a wrongly rotated display!
