Change vertical screen back to orginal horizontal

Anonymous

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.

I had the same problem. Thank you for the answer. (This is what can happen, carrying a laptop the wrong way.)
