It's a feature of your video card. Use Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow (or sometimes
Ctrl-Shift-R).

Default Help ! My screen is rotated !

Some graphics cards come with utilities or an option to rotate your display.
Most likely to be found in the Display/Advanced option.

Click on Start/Control Panel/Display/Setting Tab, Advanced button or it
could be an
Icon in the control panel specifically for the Video Card you have.

The following may also work: CTRL+ALT+Up arrow on some but not all video
cards.
