    As Ronnie Vernon suggests, use the following hotkey sequence:

    Alt+Ctrl+Up/Down arrow keys. This fixed my problem immediately.

    I have used this page several times and I find it works every time.  My screen rotated probably because I wasn't paying attention but I used ctl + alt+ the right arrow and it rotated the wrong way so I used the up arrow and it rotated correctly.  Thanks for the help.
