display stack in horizontal state

[Gur]

I have a Win xp sp2. After a normal work the screen got an horizontal
orientation with 1024*768 resolution with inability to modify to any other
resolution and with the display stack in horizontal state.

Can someone help please?

This is a feature of your video card, to support using a monitor that
works in portrait orientation. Try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow (or
sometimes Ctrl-Shift-R) a couple of times.

It got that way because you hit that key combination by accident,
without realizing it.

Probably because Safe Mode turns off a lot of driver features.
