Thank you
You can also (if using XP) click CTRL+ALT+ARROW KEY. Find out which ones fix your monitor.

Thank you, Byrd910 454

The Windows key and letter X will bring up the "Windows Mobility Center" and it is also available there if the other options didn't work for you. HTH.

My HP tc4400 did not change the screen orientation with ctrl-alt-arrow, so this was a nice shortcut to find.

On some Toshiba Notebooks (ie. Sattelite L350D) you must press CTRL+SHIFT+Cursor to change the screen rotation.
