fixing the sideways monitor
one of our computer screens went sideways.....
one of the managers was trying to fix it, and hitting ctrl alt up arrow and other combos that he found somewhere, and now his is upside down.... it's pretty funny....but we need to fix it....

oh...i DID tip the monitor over on it's side, but they didn't think that was good enough of a fix.
....update.....it won't load windows all the way now....it's a touchscreen monitor, and there's a glimpse of what looks like a blue screen when it restarts think it's a virus?

did you check the display options in the control panel? My monitors go wonky everytime we get an update, and I have to reset them through there. They don't go sideways, though!

and after I hit that combo what do I do? Should I just crane my neck & wait till you post the solution? This is far worse than getting rickrolled!

This always freaks people out! Your video card "advanced" properties (right-click desktop, properties, settings, advanced, etc.) should list any orientation hot-keys, and hopefully a way to disable them. If not, put them on a sticky note... Or keep them to your self, for pranks.
