Hello there,

Restart the computer. The odds are you accidentally stumbled across the hotkey for monitor orientation... but which one? It could be the video driver software, or you could have proprietary hardware, like the Dell with rotating monitor.

If you just happen to have the Dell: ctrl-alt-(arrow key) will flip the screen the direction you press.

Try the combo, even if you don't have the Dell, as some manufacturers using the Intel Extreme Graphics (built onto the motherboard in most cases) have it configured to enable screen rotation.

You can follow the steps listed here:

... if you have the Intel Extreme Graphics chip.

If not, and resetting the computer doesn't undo it, please take note of the graphics chip your computer uses and write me another question directly.
