    Laptop changes to portrait when second monitor is plugged in


    The monitor is fine, shows screen as landscape.When the laptop doesn't have the monitor plugged in, it's fine, plug the monitor in and the laptop screen rotates 90 degrees and whatever is on the laptop moves to the monitor. Why?
