My husband has used a shortcut key or something that has rotated my display.  It is now sideways.  I have tried shutting down the computer, but that didn't fix it.

My Windows8 screen on my Lenovo laptop flipped sideways when I was wiping off the keyboard, and I can't get it back to normal. The control/alt/up arrow key did not work for me. What to do? Help!
