    Right Click blank area of Desktop - Graphics Options - Rotation

    CTRL + ALT + Arrow key also rotates it.

    Ctrl + Alt +Arrow (up), Ctrl + Alt + Arrow (down), Ctrl + Alt + Arrow (left), and also Ctrl + Alt + Arrow (right)

    Hope this helps.

    Ronnies suggestion should work,

    If not, right click and select resolution from the list, and the orientation selection should be landscape.
