Display is now in vertical mode

[Tracy]

Help, I have no idea what happened. While typing all of a suden my screen
went from horizonal to verical. Now I have to read and type everything
looking at it sideways. How does one go about getting the images back in a
horizonal format?
thanks

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.

Press Ctrl/Alt/Up Cursor keys or Ctrl/Shift/R on some graphics cards.
In the Display Properties, disable this shortcut key combination to
prevent it happening again.
