I am using win 7 with dual monitors Brand new Dell computer I hit a key or keys accidentally and now my left monitor is correctly orientated but my left monitor is upside down. I am sure the fix is something simple..I've tried ctl-alt-r or l arrow and that changes both but does not get them both orientated correctly. HELP

First of all try Pressing these key combinations. CTRL+ALT+↓ (Down Arrow)

If that works, you're set!

If not, the easiest way to do this is through the Windows built-in Screen Resolution Control Panel Window. Otherwise the graphics card control panel can be used as well. By the hotkey (CTRL+ALT+Arrow), I can tell that you either have Intel or NVIDIA graphics card and its corresponding software. All these methods are explained in detail below.

Right click your desktop to determine which graphics card you have.

If you have an Intel graphics card, there will be a context menu displaying Graphics Properties. If you have a NVIDIA grpahics card, there will be a context menu displaying NVIDIA Control Panel. If you have an AMD grpahics card, there will be a context menu displaying AMD Catalyst Control Center.
