this is probably a daft question for those of you with lots of computer knowlege but here goes...
I have a laptop - new - I was on it earlier when all of a sudden the screen changed from being 'landscape' to 'portrait' which means I literally have to put the thing on it's side to be able to use it. It has affected all programmes, start-up screen etc. I assume I pressed something I shouldn't have but I can't work out what it was to press it again to make it go back - any ideas?!
many thanks!

Check out your display options in control panel, as there is usually a portrait/landscape option there.Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0
