Hi Tannis,

Yes ,this is an old one.
Since it happened via the keyboard ,the same is used to get it back 
straight-up.
Most likely it's Alt+Ctrl and the cursor keys.
If not successful ,you'll need to do it via the Display properties or the 
graphics card control panel settings.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Screen and windows sideways

Hi all,

I hope this is a hardware problem and easily solved.

I have a HP 17 inch laptop running Windows 7.

I went to sit down at my desk and inadvertently touched the keyboard. 
Somehow in doing so this is the result.

Whatever I hit on the keyboard caused my screen plus any windows that I open 
to go sideways.  In other words

A page that is usually N S E and W is now

N is in the W position
W is in the S position
S is in the E position
and E is in the N position

I have tried to position my cursor on the edge and rotate the picture to no 
avail.

If I am making sense, does anyone know what I did and how to correct it?

TIA

tannis z TN
