Hello, since you're getting no sense from anyone else I'd give it a bash.

Depending on your graphics card this could be a little different. You could
first try some common keystrokes for screen rotation (CTRL+left or right
etc) that may or may not work, you could have a play and see if you could
find it.

If you get no joy with that, right click the desktop, go to properties and
then settings and click the advanced button, this should bring up a number
of tabs in a new window, for Radeon card has a tab called Rotation that
handles this, but it could well be tucked under something like displays.

Hope that helps!

Right click on the desktop, select Properties, Settings Tab, Advanced, look
for tab to adjust orientation.
Have your little brother fix it or push it over. <G>

You've got "smart" answers and you have "intelligent" answers. If I
couldn't find any options to rotate anywhere, I'd try running their game
again and see if it comes back out right when you quit the game again. It
might take another quarter turn and be upside down then. If it is, do it
two more times!
Or maybe boot in Safe Mode once, and then reboot back to normal mode. Last,
but not least, reinstall your video drivers.

RTFM.

If you have an Nvidia graphics card, try this:

Right-click desktop
Settings tab
Advanced button
[name of your graphics card] tab (probably something like "GeForce
Fx Nv . . .")
Nv Rotate

Good luck,

George
