Screen is sideways-help!

I'm not quite sure what happened, but I turned on my notebook w/ Vista Home
Premium on it, & the sign in screen, & the background-everything-was
sideways! I've tried all I can think of, can someone please tell me how to
get it back to normal?

Entrancing Actress,

Have you played a game lately? You probably need to go into the control
panel for your video driver and rotate the screen back to its normal
position. You can also check to see if you have some kind of setting in the
video control panel to prevent this from happening in the future.

Have a nice day.
