My hands have always been too big for my laptop keyboard — half of my keystrokes consist of backspacing.  This morning one particularly wild move resulted in my somehow hitting the "Fn" key and "F8" (at least I think that's the move I busted), so that my screen went from horizontal to vertical mode (or vertical to horizontal — it's in effed-up mode, at any rate).  I tried hitting the same keys again, and while the screen would flip back to normal for a split-second, it always returns now — wouldn't you know it — to the effed-up setting.  Even after rebooting five or six times.

My Dell "Help and Support" has been neither helpful nor supportive (surprising, I know).  I have searched online, to no avail.  I am at a complete loss (it doesn't take much, Lord knows), and, as is usual in these situations, am wondering if there is some specific god in my PC I have pissed off, and is there another one I can petition to fix it for me?  Can I go over both their heads to the Big PC God who will make everything OK again? Is there a sacrifice I can make?  What do the PC gods want?  Have I angered them by my newfound fervor for LOLCats? Is there something, anything I can do? 

If not, I suppose I could get used to it.  At first it was sort of hard to get my mouse positioned, but I am a survivor, and my motto, like most PC users', has come to be "adapt or die." But I don't know how viewing my virtual world this way is going to influence my real life.  I already have a crick in my neck from seeing the world through this new perspective.

If anyone out there can lend me some of their perspective on any of this, I would be deeply indebted.
