I need help with reverting my computer screen back to the orginally horizontal screen.  I somehow hit a series of keys on my keyboard (laying it close to my chest to reposition my body for comfort in surfing) and ajusted my screen to a ertical position.  I have an all in one computer screen that doesn't allow for the monitor to turn vertically to use the vertical positioning.  How do I get it back to normal?  Very strange.....I didn't even know the computer presented a choice.

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.
