1. Make sure monitor is on your desk with the base side down.
2. If you find yourself walking on the ceiling of your home, check
weather reports for recent earthquakes or tornadoes.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist a little sarcasm. : )
Actually in the days of CRT monitors I had done this deliberately by
installing a double pole switch in the CRT driver circuit so that the
customer across the counter could read the screen with the press of a
button. The monitor was mounted vertically under a glass topped
counter.
Sorry I can not imagine what could be causing this problem.
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.
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.
This is very likely a video card hotkey issue - many have hotkeys to rotate
the display. Try using control+arrowkey combinations to turn the display
over, or check the video driver help file under "rotate display".
