    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?

    Hi,

    Usually there are specifiv fn+<key> to rotate the screen, it could also be
    ctrl+alt+up arrow.

    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.
