Monitor Screen is Turned

The Ctrl-Alt-Direction key sequence is supposed to be used for changing your workspace. On my computer at work it changes the screen orientation.
  • Ctrl-Alt-Up - right side up
  • Ctrl-Alt-Right - 90 degrees
  • Ctrl-Alt-Down - 180 degrees
  • Ctrl-Alt-Left - 270 degrees
    (If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)
