if you go to your desktop, de-select items and hit the applications key you should get a list of items including the "instantly change orientation" options (which should have there hot keys listed with them).
this would not be the first time I herd of someone accidently hitting a hot key combo instead of what they wanted and changing the screen orientation.

Yesterday I went to control panels and typed in screen. Found the orientation link and changed it back to landscape. But I have no idea how it got switched in the first place. Sound got muted at the same time but luckily on my laptop I can use Function F13 to unmute. So thanks for this good advice.

When I turned it back on there was no sound. So I asked my husband what was on the screen. He said it was my regular desktop but the top was at the left edge and the normal bottom was at the right edge. I used the laptop keys to unmute the computer and it works normally with Jaws now. But it makes my husband crazy that the info on the screen is laying on its side. Any idea how to rotate the screen back to the right? I am not sure exactly when it got tipped but it was normal Sunday evening when my sister used it. Using Win 7, Jaws 14, IE9. Dell laptop.
