Did you put the laptop ON its side?

[Ezekiel17]

My mother did. And now it's displaying on it's side.

Maybe you could put it on the OTHER side and rectify the problem.

If it's a convertible laptop (has a screen that flips around and a pen so you can write on it), then there's usually a button to rotate the orientation of the screen. If it's a regular ol' laptop, then somewhere in the display settings (on XP: right click the desktop, click properties, click whichever tab has the resolution settings on it, click advanced. On other versions of Windows, I don't know) there should be a control to set the orientation.

Rightclick/graphics options/screen rotation/normal!
