Hi,
No need to worry, this is a minor disturbance. All you have to do is as follows:
Press and hold "ctrl" + "alt" buttons and at the same time press the up arrow (navigation keys).

The screen display will rotate. Repeat the step until the correct position is obtained.

Yes, thank you. That fixed the problem, which was caused by an object falling on the external monitor of my laptop. When I tried your solution on my external keyboard it did not work, but worked immediately when I tried it on the laptop keyboard....must be some problem with my external keyboard - may be caused by the object falling on it. Anyway, all is right with the world once more, and I won't have to stand on my head or upend the monitor to use the computer!

Thanks again.

Answer 20 / 36

This just happened to me and I used a combination of these answers to solve it. Just right click on the desktop and then select "Graphic Options." One of your choices with Vista will be "Hot Keys." Just Disable it and you'll be fine. Who wants this as an option anyway?!
