Depending on the sort of computer you're using, and the graphics driver that is installed (especially on Intel GMA-powered netbooks), there are usually some default keyboard combinations that are set to change the screen rotation. (My Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 netbook, by default, has such a thing bound to Control+Alt+left/right/up/down - this might vary, and in most cases can be changed or disabled.) I would suggest checking your video drivers for such hotkeys - otherwise, could you tell us what sort of computer you're using, which operating system, what sort of graphics hardware and drivers are installed, that sort of thing? I'm currently operating on the assumption that you're on a netbook running some flavor of Windows, but really, it could be darned near anything.
