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.

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?!

Cree · Answer
