had changed from the normal landscape view to a portrait view, which is very
annoying. can anyone help me change it back to normal?

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. You accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some arrow key.
Rotate it back using those keys.
