Windows orientation like tablet PC

[Guest]

Help! I have a non-tablet Gateway laptop, and recenty leaned on my keyboard,
only to see that the orientation rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. So now
when Windows loads, my screen looks like I'm running Windows on a tablet
device, and not a regular laptop. I've searched through the system properties
for hours and cannot figure out how to change the orientation back to normal.
If anyone knows...please let me know. I have to stand my computer on end just
to see the screen properly, and when I type I have to crank my head to the
left just to read what I'm writing. Ugh! Please help.

Try CTRL+Alt+ Up Arrow. Otherwise look in display properties | settings |
advanced |adapter tab, for "Screen Orientation".

The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video
card, to help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait
orientation. You accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some arrow key.
Rotate it back using those keys.
