    Hitting keyboard arrow flips my monitor display!
    Here's a brand new one on me.

    I just hit the right arrow on my keyboard and my monitor display went sideways... with the top of the page on the right.

    Hit the left arrow and the top goes to the left.

    Hit the up arrow and it goes back to normal.

    What the heck? Is there a key combination that any of you know of that I can hit that will disable this?

    I can only imagine I bumped something that turned it on - since I've had this keyboard for about a year now and never run into it before...

    Thanks!

    Yes, I found that. It's supposed to work only with control>alt>arrow:

    I think your keyboard ctrl and alt keys might have been stuck, and pressing ctrl and alt would release them again.

    Happens to me all the time when I mash the buttons playing games, hitting the key again solves it :)
