    I have a 14 in standard display T61 running Vista Home Premium. While using the T61, I must have inadvertently hit a series of key strokes which caused the image on my display to rotate 90 degrees counter clockwise. How do I get it back to the normal 4:3 format with the 4 at the top and bottom and the 3 left and right.

    What video card do you have?

    Go into control panel and look for a video card option, there should be an option to rotate it back.

    Also, sometimes they will have a key-combination that will rotate your display, disable that feature.

    I knew it was one of those combos, but the up arrow will place it in the correct position. I dont have a Lenovo with me on the weekends :)

    Thanks for the information. I did solve the problem using the following steps.

    Desktop > Right Click > Graphics Options > Rotation > Normal
