I have a new wide screen dell monitor that can physically rotate into a
portrait like position but i can't figure out how to get the view or window
to also show as portrait - is there any way to do that in the control panel
or anywhere else in windows set up??
 
Did you check the buttons on the front of the monitor? Some will rotate
the image 90 degrees.

This would be a function of the video card. Some video cards have this rotation feature (bugs the
hell out of people that don't know its there and hit it accidentally) but most low end video cards
do not.

In display properties, settings, advanced, video card, check out the option.

Windows itself has no facility to do this. However, depending on what video
card you have, the driver for it *may* have this capability.

Try Ctrl-Alt-arrow keys. If that doesn't work, right-click the desktop,
choose properties, and look around those screens for the option.
