Hi! My screen truned sideways. I am not sure how this happened. Please help.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
This is normally caused by accidentally pressing a combination of keys. To correct it, hold down Ctrl and Alt and press one of the four arrow keys (up, down, left or right).
Alternatively, you may have a Rotation setting in the display properties of the graphics card. If all else fails, try restoring the system to an earlier date.

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. Almost certainly you accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and
some arrow key.
Rotate it back using those keys.

Just wanted to says thanks to those who had the solution to this problem. Funny, I think my cat laid down on the keyboard and pushed Control+Alt and an arrow key. Applied solution and all is good!
Cat did this to me just now.
