through 90 degrees! What do I do to get it back please?

I assume you've tried rebooting?

I just googled it, and do you have NVidia? If you do, right click on the
system tray icon, and select 'Rotation Settings'.

CTRL + ALT + UP ARROW should rotate your screen to normal

other rotations are

CTRL + ALT + LEFT ARROW = rotate 90 degrees
CTRL + ALT + DOWN ARROW = rotate 180 degrees
CTRL + ALT + RIGHT ARROW = rotate 270 degrees

Brilliant - it works! Thank you.

Now, would anyone like a computer illiterate Bengal tabby cross?

computer illiterate!?! Nah, Bertie just wanted to read the screen
without having to lift his head. You';re just lucky he wasn't doing
upside down head at the time.

lol!

Glad you got it fixed.

I had to scratch my head and figure out what was going on the other
day when I turned on the computer and got a message saying "Stuck
Key". Huh? Had never seen that before. I finally looked at the
keyboard, where one of the kittens must have been walking during the
night, and the Insert key on the numeric pad was definitely stuck.
Push, boing, back!

I swear they were trying to communicate with The Mothership, but
they're too young to know how yet ;-)
