    On some computers, a combination of key strokes will make the screen rotate.  That may be what happened in this case.  Or, one of the kids learned this trick somewhere and were feeling mischevious.   ;)

    You should also have a rotation option somewhere in your display settings.  For example, for computer with nVidia graphics cards/chips, this explains how they work: http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_nvrotate.html

    Systems with ATI graphics also have a rotation setting somewhere in the software. 

    What display adpater/graphics card do you have?
