Screen rotated 90 degrees

Where is the setting to undo this?

I am using a laptop with XP Pro, SP3. In the middle of reading a web page
the screen rotated counter-clockwize.

The top is now at the left and the mousepad also changed so that right-left
now goes up-down.

Reboot and it's ok through the initial Windows screen and is rotated from
where you select which account on.

Reboot in safe mode with network support and you've an 800x600 correctly
oriented screen WITHOUT network support (Network Neighborhood thinks the
wireless is connected but won't disable).

Try Pressing CTRL+ALT + Arrow UP or Right or Left or Down.
Also you can Right click your Desktop and see if there is a properties to
Rotate the display 90 Deg.

Let us know.

That dialog that comes up when you right click the Desktop had nothing for
this.

Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow did fix it.
