I have an HP w2207h monitor, which supposedly has the option to rotate the screen 90 degrees. I have rotated the monitor, but the screen stays the way it was. I have the most recent drivers for the monitor and still no dice (driver 3.0).
How can I rotate my screen? I have downloaded apparently all the software and nothing works. Apparently, some people have an option in display settings to change the orientation, but not I.
edit: I have an nVidia card, made for a laptop. This is running on a laptop with a broken screen.

The rotating feature is not usually activated by physically rotating the monitor, but in the software that comes with your video card. These auto-sensing monitors are available I believe, but I don't think your monitor is one of them unfortunately.
For NVIDIA cards, check out the NVIDIA control panel:
For ATI cards, use the Catalyst Control Center:
For Intel graphics, see the Graphic properties:
Sometimes the rotate feature will be integrated into display settings as you have mentioned, under a tab named after your card (will be a bit different on Windows 7).
