I have a workstation where the display has rotated 90 degrees. A person had put a notebook on the keyboard and it hit some key combination and rotated the screen. It is a compaq desktop with a Sony monitor running Windows XP Professional.

Depending on the display adapter installed, this may not help, but I have these settings on my machine: under display properties, click settings, advanced, Intel Extreme Graphics, Graphics Properties, Rotation.

What most likely happened, is that the user hit the hot-key combination that switches the screen image from landscape to portrait mode.

Look in Display properties for a rotation setting.

On my desktop, I had to:
Open display properties,
click on advanced,
Click on the adapter tab,
click on advanced.
On a side menu, the rotate option was available.
I can set my display to all 4 rotation options.

Like they say, it could be changed in your adapter driver's properties, but also in your monitor's configuration.

I have tried the suggestions given but I cannot find the rotation icon or the advanced tab. what operating system were used to provide those answers.

This is the solution.
Press ctrl, Alt and left arrow key once or twice and your screen will be OK
