Screen display sudden rotates sideways
On my husbands Dimension 4600 with Flat Panel 17 inch screen 1703FPT, the display is suddenly sideways. I tried pushing the buttons on the front of the monitor, but could get it to flip back.
I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but don't know how. In the meantime, I turned the screen so he can view the copy without turning his head sideways!
Help appreciated!

Usually display rotation is controlled by your PC's video adapter, not the monitor. You may have accidentally hit the shortcut keys for rotating the display.
Try pressing CTRL-ALT at the same time, then use the arrow keys and see if that rotates the screen.
If that doesn't work: Right click an blank area on the Desktop, select Properties, Settings tab, Advanced button. Somewhere in one of those tabs should be settings for screen rotation (or perhaps something like Portrait and Landscape). The exact details depend on the video adapter you have (Nvidia, ATI, Intel, etc.) but it should be in there somewhere.
