    I just found this on Google, not sure if it's any help:

    It goes like this:

    ctrl+alt+ (arrow)

    where (arrow) is:

    Up arrow - normal orientation
    Down arrow - upside down
    Right arrow - Right side of screen is top
    Left arrow - left side is top.

    Oh, I also found this:

    Display rotated 90 Degrees



    The Problem:-Display screen has rotated to 90 degrees clockwise.

    The Resolution:-Open Control Panel>Display>Settings tab>advanced, navigate through the tabs to find a rotate display option.This option has come due to the graphic card you have installed. The option should allow you to rotate the display back to its original orientation

    Not sure if this will help either but prob worth a go.
