Hi,
My screen has decided to rotate 90 degrees to the right.
I can stillo (just about) use it this way, but in order to save myself major
neck strain, can anyone help?

It's a feature of your video card, to support using a monitor that works in
portrait orientation. Try Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow (or sometimes Ctrl-Shift-R).

It didn't "decide" to do this; it probably got that way because you hit that
key combination by accident, without realizing it.

Hi

Try this:

Right click the Desktop, select Properties>Settings>Advanced. See if there
is a setting in there to rotate the screen back to normal. If you have
Nvidia software installed try clicking on the tab for your graphics card and
have a look for NVRotate on the left hand side.

If you do have an Nvidia card there may be an icon in the Notification Area.
If so, right click on it, select Rotation Settings and then set it to 0
degrees
