Sideways view

Hi all, when I turned my computer (Toshiba Sattelite Pro laptop runnig Vista)
this morning, the view I got on the screen has been shifted 90 degrees to the
left. So this means I am looking at the screen sideways as I type this now.
Computer turned off OK last night and all functionality appears OK. I don't
beleive my laptop has the type of software that adjusts the view as the angle
changes (like some mobile phones) and in any case if I turn the whole machine
around nothing happens. All screens from and incluidng log-in are affected.

Can anyone help with this problem?

Many thanks

Usually it's the key combo Ctrl_Alt_Up Arrow, but whatever your system uses,
it's probably on the menu of desktop rightclick/Graphics adapter, or perhaps
there is a control panel applet to do it.

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.
