My Laptop Screen Is Stuck in "Portrail"

I use a Dell Inspiron B120 laptop computer right now, and have a problem. Yesterday, I picked up the computer to move it to a different room. When I sat down in the other room, I had hit something that caused the display to switch to the side. Everything I see is in portrait. The top of the screen is on the left, and I have to tilt the compter over to even see what's going on. Anyone know what I have to do to switch it back? I tried a game, and that works fine.

I already tried changing the resolution in the display properties... all it does is give me varying resolutions in portrait mode... no options to get it back to widescreen.
