I have a customer that her cat laid on the key board and now the display is
90 degrees counter clockwise. It is like you took the all the icons, back
ground task bar, etc. and rotated them so they are all their side.

How can I get this display back to normal? She could actually move the
monitor 90 degrees clockwise and get back to normal, but, I don't think she
wants to do that.

Thanks for your assistance in advance,

Is she sure she wants to do that? This way she can lay down and surf the
internet.

Most video drivers feature a setting that rotates the image in 90 degree
increments, a feature that can be activated by a key combination. Simply
open the video driver's GUI, hunt for the setting that does rotation,
straighten the image (and maybe disable that setting.)

The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your customer's video
card, to help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait orientation. Her
cat accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some arrow key. Rotate it back using
those keys.

And tell her to keep her cat away from the computer. This time the problem
was a minor one. Next time it could be much more serious.

Easier said than done... to a cat NO means "not while you're looking". ;-)
