Display rotated (dog walked on keyboard)

[high]

A friend's dog walked on his laptop keyboard and his display rotated. Now he
has to turn his laptop on its side (like an opened book) to view it.
Obviouly, its some combination of keystrokes that did this. What combination
will put his display righside up again?

Thanks.

Try CTRL+ALT+the UP arrow

Also try: CTRL+shift +R if you have viewsonic software.

Thanks for the reply, but none of these keystrokes worked to get my friend's
display back to its upright position again. (See my solution is a separate
post.)

I eventually Discovered the solution (almost by chance):
Right click, Graphics Options, Rotation. (BTW, "Rotation" is not in the XP
help index.)

But why would anyone want to turn their display sideways? Or use their
laptop on its side? (It's really weird to operate the touch pad from this
angle.)

Someone working in a printing shop - at least that is where I have seen it -
they get the whole screen to work with when setting up a page in portrait mode -
