Monitor is sideways!

[Guest]

Help! I was playing a computer game when I accidently hit a couple of keys
and my monitor image flipped sideways! As I type this I have to keep turning
my head to the side.

I tried restarting the computer and I tried system restore, but it said the
system restore was not completed because none of the settings on my computer
had been changed since the last restore point.

I don't know how to get it back to normal. Please help me, my neck is really
stsrting to cramp!

I forgot to mention, I'm running Windows XP SP2.

Some graphics cards come with utilities or an option to rotate your display.
Most likely to be found in the Display/Advanced option.
You may also be able to turn off Display rotation so the problem does not
happen again.

Click on Start/Control Panel/Display/Setting Tab, Advanced button or it
could be an
Icon in the control panel specifically for the Video Card you have.

The following may also work: CTRL+ALT+Up arrow on some but not all video
cards.

Right click a blank space on the desktop. In the middle of the menu you
should see 'Graphics Options' with a sub-menu of rotation. Check 'Normal'.
