I inadvertently hit the right little clicker when I was pressing CTRL and the screen display rotated 90 degrees. When I hit the left little clicker while pressing CTRL it rotated 180 degrees. I can't get it back to normal even if I reboot.
Click again until screen is right. then open mouse config and turn off that button or change it's function.

Computer users occasionally have a need to rotate, or "flip," a monitor display to be better able to read long documents or to view pictures.
Because rotating a computer screen is such a basic function, modern operating systems (Windows XP and up) include hot keys and display options that enable the user to rotate the computer screen by 90, 180 and 270 degrees.
Rotating the computer screen allows for more display options.
For instance, when rotated 90 degrees, a 1680x1050 monitor becomes a 1050x1680 monitor, which provides more vertical pixels than a standard display.
Windows XP/Vista Monitor Orientation
Minimize any windows or programs to the taskbar. Click the desktop.
Press "CTRL" + "ALT" at the same time.
Press one of the arrow keys to flip the monitor orientation by 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
The left arrow rotates the computer screen 90 degrees; the down arrow rotates the computer screen 180 degrees; the right arrow rotates the computer screen 270 degrees; the up arrow resets the monitor orientation.
Rotate the computer screen in Windows Vista by opening the Control Panel, searching for "Tablet PC" and changing the "Orientation" drop box to the desired rotation.
Windows 7 Monitor Orientation
Click the Start menu at the lower-left hand part of the screen, and open the Control Panel.
Select "Display," then click "Change display settings" from the left column.
When using multiple monitors, select the monitor that you would like to rotate.
Click the drop box next to the "Orientation:" option. Select the desired rotation and click "Apply." Click "Keep Changes" or "Revert," depending on preference.
Click "Apply" in the Display Settings window.
Click "OK" to finish.
Hope this helps

Thanks for trying, but I got a solution:
The mouse is a Logitech MX310. It has five buttons in addition to the wheel. The button on the far right causes the same action as you get pressing CTR and R-arrow at the same time. When I pressed the far right button while depressing the ALT key (this was done accidentially) it did the same thing as would have happened if I'd pressed CTR/ALT/R-arrow. On my computer the causes the screen to rotate so that the top of the page is at the right of the screen. If I press the far left button while depressing the ALT key, it causes the screen to rotate so that the top of the page is at the left of the screen.
The only way to return the screen to normal is to press CTR/ALT/UP-arrow. There's no button on the mouse which, when pressed while the ALT key is depressed, will right the screen and put the top of the page at the top of the screen.
screen on vista has rotated to the side. pressin arrow keys wont' work. Heeelp.
