Monitor displaying the wrong way round

[Griffo2311]

Hi all, please help a dumb user. My daughter has hit a few keys which has
made our laptop's display rotate 90 degrees anti clockwise (ie portrait, like
a tablet PC display - except it isn't a tablet!). If I press function -
CRT/LCD it looks correct for a second, but then goes back. Please help.

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. She accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some
arrow key.

Rotate it back using those keys.

Hit ctrl-alt-up arrow
