    Some graphics cards have rotation "hot keys" enabled by default and this is probably the most common cause of this problem. The exact procedure for rectifying the display may depend on the particular brand and configuration of the graphics card in the problem computer. One of the following options may help resolve the issue.

    Option One:
    Try using the keyboard combination, "Control + Alt + Up Arrow Key". Control + Alt along with one of the arrow keys is a fairly common rotation hot-key configuration and may just do the trick.

    Option Two:
    If Option One doesn't work, see if there is a graphics card icon displayed in the Notification Area (near the Windows Clock). Clicking (or right-clicking) the icon may reveal a "Rotation Settings" option that will allow you to revert to "normal" display.

    Option Three:
    If neither of the previous options help, try the following procedure.
    1. Right-click an open area of the desktop and click "Properties" to open the "Display Properties" window.
    2. Click the "Settings" tab and then click the "Advanced" button to open the monitor settings window.
    3. Click the tab corresponding to your graphics card. You may need to click one or more buttons within the tab to reveal a rotation settings option. Exactly where rotation settings are located will depend on the brand of graphics card installed.
    4. Once you locate the rotation settings, choose the "0 degrees" or "normal" option to change the display to upright. The rotations settings may also give you the option of disabling rotation hot keys so that the problem does not happen again.
    5. Click "OK" to save changes and exit out of any open properties windows.
    Thanks Google.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Smart arse!

    Why does the OBVIOUS idea-go to Google-always play second fiddle to, "Ask all the brilliant people on Pet Talk?"

    Plus, it's always fun to get teased about something totally goofy. Why should I suffer, when it makes a great thread?

    I did turn the monitor sideways, then took it off the pedestal and placed it upside down!

    Now I am back to normal.....


    Would it have been o.k. if I moved to Australia?

    I'm glad you shared it...good for a laugh. That reminds me of a "dogster" incident a few months ago. The "dogs" post their comments to eachother but the "humans behind the dog" have to remember to assign the comment to the dog. I happened to post a comment for Sunny which was totally appropriate had it been from Sunny but not so appropriate if it was from me (which it was because I forgot to assign it to Sunny). I left it on there because I couldn't stop laughing and figured my pals could use a good laugh too. I'll share it here too:
