How'd it get sideways? is his monitor one of those flat screen ones that you can rotate?

is the computer PC or MAC?

Natureboy, I'd try to go to display properties>settings tab>advanced. I think you could find some kind of control there based on the video card...it sounds like a video card-specific issue...I don't think windows can tilt the screen like that...

It's a PC w/flatscreen......she accidently tabbed a key on the keyboard.....
and the whole monitor is sideway now.

I'm typing up into the top of the monitor......hahaha!

If its Windows then it might as well be a vid card issue. rt click desktop / properties / settings / advanced (button) click on the Vid Card tab on top.

little window will popup on the side click the + sign first link on th elittle window NV Rotate

some Laptops will allow you to flip the screen with the combo of 2 keys, a Fn key or ctrl with something else. as everyone else said, go to the advanced tab of the display properties and there should be a large list of options there. I'm sure that is a nice laptop at least though, most dont give you the option to rotate the screen, you need a pretty high end graphics card
