screen on the side

[Boibn]

I am using a intel macbook 2,2ghz i am using windows xp
I had no problems until recently, i was playing Black & white 2 on windows
and when i quit the game the whole screen was on its side. Meaning that the
top of the screen was now the right of the desktop and the right of the
screen became the top of the desktop. I tried finding something in the
control panel but i havn t found anything useful. I restarting the computer
but it didn t solve anything. One thing I have noticed is that when I start
the game black and white 2 the screen switchs back to the normal way but when
i quit the game the screen flips back to it's side...
I am very bad with windows considering i am a mac user, If anyone could help
me solve my problem it would be very appreciated.

Some graphics cards come with utilities or an option to rotate your display.
Most likely to be found in the Display/Advanced option.
You may also be able to turn off Display rotation so the problem does not
happen again.

Click on Start/Control Panel/Display/Setting Tab, Advanced button or it
could be an
Icon in the control panel specifically for the Video Card you have.

The following may also work: CTRL+ALT+Up arrow on some but not all video
cards.
Apparently some key combination you use while playing the game is causing
the rotation.

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.
