LOL, this happened to me once. hold control +alt and one of the arrow keys to rotate the screen. If nothing happens hit control+alt+f1 to enable/disable this. if this doesnt work, right click the desktop and click on display or graphics properties, click settings,, click advanced, click intel graphics technology, then check the hot keys.

If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
