You might want to check to see if you have a virus. Be sure you antivirus
software has the latest definitions.

Usually, this sort of thing controlled on the monitor by the way so you
might want to check your manual to see if there is a control for such a
thing. For example, some flat panel monitors can display an image
horizontally or vertically or it might be called landscape or portrait,
nonetheless, if your monitor falls into that category, hitting the wrong
control would appear to put the image on its side but as I said above, you
might want to virus scan first.

right-click desktop, properties, settings tab, advanced
With my computer there is a rotation tab located under Intel
graphics\graphics properties. Your system may be different, but this
should put you in the general area where you can search for something
similar.

There are some joke utilities that can create this situation. I'm
somewhat surprised that system restore didn't take care of it, though.
