Also right-click on empty Desktop > Graphics Options > Rotation.

2012-09-24T13:28:40+00:00 My daughter used to do this, and I always did a system restore. My son has just done it too! Glad I found this solution. I did try lots of combinations myself first after the system restore would not work for some reason.
