    I take it you mean the whole screen and not just the taskbar..
    Anyway go into display properties, advanced and you will have some sort of non windows tab.. ATI,Intel, Nvidia etc... look around and the option to rotate screen will be there somewhere.

    Your PC and its monitor have a display rotation feature they have obviously activated this usually though a keyboard shortcut.

    I would check your graphics card properties or any software that is linked to the monitor and you should find the option to go back to the normal mode.

    My NVidia 6800 has a setting to do that. Check your gfx card properties

    I have seen Dell's that have a rotate feature.

    Try Control-Alt-Left Arrow (or right/up/down) - it's one of them.
