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.

My 4 year old did that to the computer...and I was out of my mind...... I Google how to fix it and I found your post..so I just want to say a big thank you!  SO, THANK YOU FOR SAVING THE DAY!!!

I had the same problem today 6-31-2013 moving my monitor and Keyboard. I couldn't figure what I had hit to cause the problem. I tried you answer and the up key and my screen went back to the horizontal view. Thank you! You were right on!!! Pat Lavalette, Charlotte, VT.

Me too...thanks for a very helpful answer! My 2 year old had hit the keyboard and I didn't know what keys she had hit, your post saved me a lot of aggravation trying to sit here and figure it out!
