Using XP Pro w/SP2. I was using my computer this morning and all of a sudden
the display rotated 90 degrees to the left so now I have to cock my head way
over to the left to view the display. I re=booted thinking this would
correct it but it did not. Can anyone please tell me how to fix it BEFORE I
get a permenant set in my neck? Thanks in advance for any help. JungleJim

Look in your Video Card's Software Advanced Options.
This is a feature of that driver/software - not Windows XP.
