Solution
If you mean the desktop of windows is sideways on your monitor.

Right click on the windows desktop.

Select screen resolution from the pull down menu that appears.

Where it says Orientation.

Set it to Landscape

And click ok.

Kids eh the stuff they get up too !

Solution
Try Crtl+Alt+ (the up arrow key)

Whatever arrow key you use will switch the screen to that orientation, so that is probably how this happened in the first place.
